Accomplishments
• NSF EPSCoR Request: $94 million in FY 06 – first time
since FY 2000 that NSF requested an increase in EPSCoR
funding over the prior year’s congressional appropriation
• Workshop: NSF holds “EPSCoR 2020” visionary
workshop
• Visibility: Foundation increases visibility of
EPSCoR/IDeA with top federal officials
• NIH Budget: NIH budget holds at $222 million while
overall NIH research funding growth ends; no
reprogramming of IDeA funds
• Agency Interaction: Boards expanded to better interact
with ALL EPSCoR/IDeA agencies

North Dakota EPSCoR Results
ND EPSCoR Achievements
Indications that EPSCoR is transforming the
science and technology infrastructure of ND:
• Increases in the number of Ph.D-level scientists & engineers
• Increased in the proposal submission rates for merit-based
grants and contracts
• Increases in the proposal “success rate” for merit-based grants
and contracts
• North Dakota EPSCoR increasingly influences AURA/STTAR
students’ choice of science and technology careers
• Enhancing the productivity and profitability of North Dakota’s
existing technology based businesses
• Facilitating the establishment of new high-technology
businesses
Examples of ND EPSCoR’s
Achievements
• The state's overall investment of $24.3
million has resulted in over $169 million in
external awards to EPSCoR-supported
researchers since 1986
• The $100 million awarded to EPSCoRsupported researchers since 1986 has had
over a $230 million total impact on the
economy of North Dakota
Example of ND IDeA’s
Achievements
20:1 Return on Investment
– NIH’s Centers of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE) research cluster faculty
supported by North Dakota EPSCoR and
matching funds from the state of North Dakota
have generated federal grant income over 20
times the initial investment.
Issues and Challenges
EPSCoR 2020 Workshop
EPSCoR 2020: Expanding State Participation
in Research in the 21st Century – A New Vision
for the Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research
Date: June 15-16, 2006
PI: Jerry Odom
Location: Arlington, VA
Purpose: “…to look 10-20 years into the future
and think strategically about investments that
will be needed to create the national research
capacity that [NSF] would like to achieve – a
new vision for EPSCoR.”
Strategic Priorities
• Provide more Flexible RII awards
– increase size and duration of RII grants
• Increase geographical dispersion of funding and
participation
– Relocate EPSCoR program to OIA
• Revitalize and extend other components of EPSCoR
─ Co-funding
─ Planning grants
─ Outreach
• Restore “experimental” nature of EPSCoR
─ Use program as testbed
• Develop state strategic S&T business plans
• Accountability
– Create shared understanding and definition of success
Issues and Challenges
• Accountability
• Attribution
• Program Flexibility
• Linkage to Emerging Federal Priorities (ACI
and Gathering Storm)
• Tight Budget Scenario
• State S&T plans and Investments in S/T
