Evaluation of the National Science Foundation’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR): Final Report



Evaluation of the National Science Foundation’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR): Final Report


In 2011, NSF asked the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) to conduct a 2-year evaluation of the NSF EPSCoR program, with the objective of performing an in-depth, life-of-program assessment of EPSCoR activities and of the outputs and outcomes of these activities. The study was specifically designed to address whether EPSCoR has met its two legislatively mandated objectives. The final report was released in December of 2014 and is located HERE.
