EPSCoR - Research Excellence Partnership

这是一项名义上的持续奖励，每年50,000美元，为期3年，以维持EPSCoR在过去6年中在缅因州取得的进展。虽然进展缓慢，低于预期或期望，但项目办公室相信，名义上的资源数量，加上国家科学基金会的认可，可以而且将会促使缅因州对研究和研究相关活动采取平权行动。该提案获得了四位评审员的平均非常好+，并由工作人员推荐该奖项。自提交以来，该州通过缅因州科学和技术委员会提供了提案中要求的相应资金。

This is a nominal continuing award of $50,000 per year for 3 years to sustain the progress made by EPSCoR in the State of Maine over the last 6 years. While progress was slow and less than anticipated or desired, the program office is convinced that a nominal amount of resources, coupled with the NSF imprimatur can, and will, catalize the State of Maine into affirmative action towards research and research related activities. The proposal received an average of very good plus from the four reviewers and the staff recommends the award. The State has, since submission, provided the matching funds as called for in the proposal via the Maine Science and Technology Board.
