We live in an age dominated by science and technology. Neither the nation nor individual states will realize growing intellectual and economic strengths in the absence of comprehensive, ambitious and productive research capacities. EPSCoR has helped to move the State of Wyoming along the path of research excellence and has set the stage for other enhancement initiatives. It is a program that has facilitated high quality research and concurrent enhancement in the infrastructure supporting the State's research endeavor.

The goals of Wyoming EPSCoR are
  • to improve the research accomplishments of targeted faculty making them capable of competing successfully for Federal research dollars,
  • to strengthen departmental and multidisciplinary research groups,
  • to introduce long-term improvements to the State's science and engineering infrastructure, and
  • to offer improvement in the State's opportunities to strengthen technology-based economic initiatives.
