Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research in South Dakota

南达科他州正在寻求援助，其计划：（1） 提高国家基础研究的质量 （2）增加国家竞争力; 科学家和工程师;（3）实现长期改善， 南达科他州的研究环境。 为了实现这些目标，国家EPSCoR指导委员会已 选择了三个主要的研究方向：（1）生物分子 增强;（2）材料工程与科学;（3）膜 和接口。 三个组成部分提案的参与者 他们是研究开发的主要目标， 通过全面的外部评估， 提案 一个积极的全州管理计划（经修订）的名义下， REACH法规的制定是为了监测和促进 确保每个中心的资源都用于 在资助期内和资助期后的计划目标， 在南达科他州留下了EPSCoR的遗产。 南达科他州EPSCoR 这项努力得到了大学的热情支持 政府、政治团体和公民个人。 程度 前所未有的匹配可以证明这种支持 180万美元（1：1）由州长支付。

The State of South Dakota is seeking assistance for its plan to: (1) improve the quality of basic research being conducted in the State of South Dakota; (2) increase the number of Nationally competitive scientists and engineers; and (3) effect the long-term improvement in the research environment in the State of South Dakota. To achieve these goals, the State EPSCoR Steering Committee has selected three primary research thrusts: (1) Biomolecular Enhancement; (2) Materials Engineering and Science; and (3) Membranes and Interfaces. The participants in the three component proposals who are primary targets for research development were selected through a comprehensive external evaluation of full research proposals. An aggressive statewide Management Plan (as amended) under the name of REACH has been developed to monitor and stimulate the activities of each center and to ensure that resources are directed toward the program objectives during and beyond the funding period in order to leave a legacy of EPSCoR in South Dakota. The South Dakota EPSCoR effort has the enthusiastic support of the university administrations, political groups and private citizens. The extent of this support can be demonstrated by the unprecedented matching of $1.8 million (1:1) by the Governor of the State.
