About EPSCoR
NASA's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) within Nebraska establishes partnerships with government, higher education and industry that are designed to effect lasting improvements in the state's research infrastructure, R&D capacity and hence, its national R&D competitiveness. Nebraska's successful NASA EPSCoR recipient profiles demonstrate how NASA is partnering within the state to achieve its mission.

NASA Nebraska EPSCoR Research Mini-Grants
The NASA Nebraska EPSCoR program facilitates mini-grant projects at the state level, growing them to become competitive at the national level.
There are two goals of the EPSCoR Research Mini-grant program: 1) To elevate the aerospace-related research being conducted in Nebraska for future infrastructure building and workforce development opportunities; and 2) To result in future proposals to NASA and/or other federal, state, or private organizations for funding. Note: These Mini-Grants are different than the NASA Nebraska Space Grant Research Mini-Grant program.
