Congress established the EPSCoR program to ensure that research universities in all states participate in and benefit from Federal science and technology activities. Although EPSCoR states have 20% of the nation's population, and close to 25% of its doctoral research universities, these states only receive about 10% of the Federal research outlays. EPSCoR provides a mechanism to address these geographical imbalances. The program has been a huge success—investments have generated growth in state economies, attracted students into STEM fields, and created a broader base of research expertise available to the agencies to meet their missions.
