9720651 Williams The EPSCoR program has served as a major stimulus to improvements in the competitiveness of Oklahoma researchers and the status of university science and technology research in Oklahoma. The state and the three comprehensive universities (The University of Oklahoma and its Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma State University, and The University of Tulsa) have demonstrated a commitment to develop their research bases and to improve the quality of their science, mathematics, and engineering research. Oklahoma EPSCoR will focus on three Science and Technology Centers: the Oklahoma Biotechnology Network; the Center for Environmental Applications of the Oklahoma Mesonet; and the Center for Photonic and Electronic Materials and Devices. The Oklahoma Biotechnology Network will stress technical support for core facilities, technical workshops as a primary outreach mechanism, and selected new initiatives in bioinformatics, mass spectrometry, and DNA chip technology. The Center for Environmental Applications of the Oklahoma Mesonet, a network of 114 automated environmental monitoring sites across Oklahoma that relay data via radio links to a central location, will stress accessibility and usability of Mesonet data, add Mesonet stations and sensors around the Norman Landfill, and will develop an aerobiology sensor network in western Oklahoma. The Center for Photonic and Electronic Materials and Devices will stress pre-competitive applied research projects to establish linkages with private sector companies and will provide support to research facilities and for selected equipment upgrades. The goal of the Cooperative Agreement is to make the three Centers self-sufficient and to graduate them from EPSCoR support by the end of the award period. This will be accomplished by providing support to the underlying research infrastructure in the Centers, through selective funding for new initiatives, and through support for research outreach and project developme nt. These initiatives will be directed towards securing non-EPSCoR support for the research projects and research infrastructure from federal, state, institution, and private sources. A co-funding initiative in high capacity computer networking will support ongoing efforts and new initiatives to expand Oklahoma's capabilities in networking. The Centers and Network goals are complemented by: support for research outreach and proposal development; technology showcases to bring together university researchers and the private sector; programs to promote public and legislative awareness of university research; a new Faculty Fellows program for senior research faculty to interact with state leaders; and, human resources programs including two Women in Science conferences and an entrepreneurship program.

9720651威廉姆斯的EPSCoR计划已作为一个主要的刺激，以提高俄克拉荷马州的研究人员的竞争力和大学的科学和技术研究在俄克拉荷马州的地位。 该州和三所综合性大学（俄克拉荷马州大学及其健康科学中心、俄克拉荷马州州立大学和塔尔萨大学）已表明致力于发展其研究基地，并提高其科学、数学和工程研究的质量。 俄克拉荷马州EPSCoR将重点关注三个科学和技术中心：俄克拉荷马州生物技术网络;俄克拉荷马州Mesonet环境应用中心;以及光子和电子材料与器件中心。 俄克拉荷马州生物技术网络将强调对核心设施的技术支持，将技术讲习班作为主要的推广机制，并在生物信息学、质谱法和DNA芯片技术方面采取选定的新举措。 俄克拉荷马州Mesonet环境应用中心是俄克拉何马州114个自动化环境监测站的网络，通过无线电链路将数据中继到中央位置，将强调Mesonet数据的可访问性和可用性，在诺曼垃圾填埋场周围增加Mesonet站和传感器，并将在俄克拉荷马州西部开发一个空气生物学传感器网络。 光子和电子材料和器件中心将强调竞争前应用研究项目，以与私营部门公司建立联系，并将为研究设施和选定的设备升级提供支持。 合作协议的目标是使这三个中心能够自给自足，并在奖励期结束时使它们从EPSCoR的支持中毕业。这将通过为中心的基础研究基础设施提供支持，通过为新举措提供选择性资金，以及通过支持研究推广和项目开发来实现。这些举措将针对确保非EPSCoR支持的研究项目和研究基础设施从联邦，州，机构和私人来源。 一项高容量计算机联网的共同供资倡议将支持正在进行的努力和新的倡议，以扩大俄克拉荷马州的联网能力。 该中心和网络的目标是补充：支持研究推广和建议的发展;技术展示，汇集大学研究人员和私营部门;方案，以促进公众和立法意识的大学研究;一个新的教师研究员计划，高级研究人员与国家领导人互动;人力资源计划，包括两个妇女在科学会议和创业计划。
