The goal of NASA EPSCoR is to provide seed funding that will enable jurisdictions to develop an academic research enterprise directed toward long term, self-sustaining, nationally competitive capabilities in aerospace and aerospace-related research.
This capability will, in turn, contribute to
the jurisdiction's economic viability and expand the nation's base for aerospace research and development.
Based on the availability of funding, NASA will continue to help jurisdictions achieve these goals through NASA EPSCoR.
Funded jurisdictions’ proposals shall be selected through a merit based, peer-review competition and presented for review to a NASA HQ Mission Directorate Review Panel.
