The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) in the state of Alabama will enhance the research competitiveness of approximately 70 investigators working in five research clusters: (1) Coastal Marine Sciences; (2) Land-Water Interfaces; (3) Modification of Material Surfaces; (4) Tailored Interfaces in Composite Materials; and (5) Interactions Between Galaxies and Their Environments. Six universities will participate: Auburn University; Alabama A&M University; University of Alabama, Birmingham; University of Alabama, Huntsville; and University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. The state's research base will be strengthened by adding tenure- track positions in materials science and biology; conducting an Agency Visitation Program will improve proposal success rates by providing faculty travel funds for visits to federal program officers; and implementing an Instrumentation Matching Grant fund. In addition, The Alabama Technology Transfer Council will be established to develop improved relationships with the private sector. Active participants in EPSCoR governance will include key university administrators, state government officers, and influential members of the private sector. Over the three-year award period the State of Alabama and institutions will contribute $19 million to ensure the success of the EPSCoR effort.

激发竞争力的实验方案 研究（EPSCoR）在亚拉巴马州将提高 约70%的研究竞争力 研究人员在五个研究集群工作：（1） 沿海海洋科学;（2）陆地-水界面;（3） 材料表面改性;（4）定制 复合材料中的界面;（5）相互作用 银河系和它们的环境之间。 六 参加的大学有：奥本大学; 亚拉巴马A M大学;亚拉巴马大学， 伯明翰;亚拉巴马大学，亨茨维尔;和 亚拉巴马大学，塔斯卡卢萨。 国家 研究基础将通过增加任期来加强- 跟踪材料科学和生物学的位置; 进行机构访问计划将改善 通过提供教师差旅，提高提案成功率 访问联邦方案官员的资金;以及 实施仪器匹配赠款基金。 此外，亚拉巴马技术转让理事会 将建立以发展更好的关系 与私营部门合作。 EPSCoR的积极参与者 治理将包括主要的大学管理人员， 州政府官员和有影响力的成员 私营部门 三年奖励期内 亚拉巴马州和各机构将作出贡献， 1900万美元，以确保EPSCoR工作的成功。
