EPSCoR, originally developed by the NSF, is designed to expand research opportunities in states that have traditionally received less funding in federal support for university research. SD EPSCoR helps build partnerships between K-12, higher education, state government, and the private sector to enrich research, education and economic development throughout the state. SD EPSCoR is supported by NSF/EPSCoR and by the South Dakota Board of Regents. Learn more at sdepscor.org.
