The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) in the state of South Dakota EPSCoR consists of an infrastructure improvement plan and two research clusters. Infrastructure improvements will take place within the context of cluster projects which are interdisciplinary in scope and inter-institutional in involvement. EPSCoR improvements will enhance the research competitiveness of over 30 faculty at three institutions (the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology). The research cluster areas are: (1) Surface and Interfacial Chemistry and (2) Regulation of Biological Processes: The Role of Membranes. The state's infrastructure improvement plan focuses on the development of human resources, on providing an environment that is conducive to competitive research, and on building the visibility of scientific research in South Dakota. Specific objectives are: to develop science faculty in both numbers and competitiveness, to strengthen graduate programs through competitive recruiting efforts, to add research equipment and support personnel, and to establish an effective system for communication between scientists, between scientists and policy makers, and between scientists and the South Dakota citizenry. A Coordinator for Human Resources Development will oversee activities aimed at students and teachers in elementary, middle and high schools. Non-federal state and institutional resources of over $6 million will be contributed to ensure the success of the state's EPSCoR effort over the three year award period.

南达科他州刺激竞争性研究实验计划(EPSCoR)由一个基础设施改善计划和两个研究集群组成。基础设施的改善将在多国项目的背景下进行，这些项目在范围上是跨学科的，在机构间参与。EPSCoR的改进将提高三个机构(南达科他州大学、南达科他州州立大学和南达科他州矿业与技术学院)30多名教员的研究竞争力。研究领域包括：(1)表面和界面化学；(2)生物过程调控：膜的作用。该州的基础设施改善计划侧重于开发人力资源，提供有利于竞争性研究的环境，并在南达科他州建立科学研究的知名度。具体目标是：在数量和竞争力方面培养科学教师，通过竞争性招聘努力加强研究生课程，增加研究设备和支持人员，并建立科学家之间、科学家与政策制定者之间以及科学家与南达科他州公民之间的有效沟通系统。人力资源发展协调员将监督针对小学、初中和高中学生和教师的活动。将贡献600多万美元的非联邦州和机构资源，以确保该州EPSCoR努力在三年获奖期内取得成功。
