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.

​

The NASA Nebraska EPSCoR program facilitates mini-grant projects at the state level, growing them to become competitive at the national level.
