Programs & Grants
Eligibility for EPSCoR participation is limited to jurisdictions that have historically received lesser amounts of federal R&D funding and that have demonstrated a commitment to developing their research bases, and improving the quality of the science, technology, and engineering research conducted at their universities and colleges.
Alabama EPSCoR currently participates in funding programs with the US Department of Energy, the US Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Science Foundation.
