The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) was established by the National Science Foundation in 1979 and has since been adopted by several other funding agencies. EPSCoR status is awarded to states that historically have received lower levels of federal research funding with the objective of increasing a state's research competitiveness. New Hampshire's EPSCoR (www.epscor.unh.edu) is administered by the Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization at UNH and a 14-member statewide committee composed of representatives from business, government and academia.
