The Resource Center for Science and Engineering, a consortium of the major universities in Puerto Rico and the site of Puerto Rico Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, will strengthen the scientific infrastructure to a national level of competitiveness in five targeted research areas (Biotechnology, Materials Sciences, Engineering Infrastructure, Environmental Research, and High Performance Computing). The EPSCoR Strategic Plan is the cornerstone of the Commonwealth's overall plan to strengthen scientific research and is one of the key strategies being utilized to enhance Puerto Rico's economic competitiveness. EPSCoR support of research thrust areas will strengthen Puerto Rico's scientific research environment by: 1) expanding the number of scientists and raising the quality of competitive research in areas that are key to Commonwealth's economic advancement; 2) elevating the level and number of human resources needed to sustain strong R&D activity; and 3) promoting new economic development through an alliance of academia, government and industry in Puerto Rico, as well as with mainland entities. Puerto Rico will employ a multifaceted approach to achieve its EPSCoR goals, attain national Research and Development standards, and meet local Science and Technology requisites for economic stimulation. Infrastructure enhancement activities will include: 1) strengthening academic basic research and new researchers in the scientific community; 2) fostering levels of national competitiveness in the selected research thrust areas; 3) obtaining major research instrumentation; 4) developing human resources,

科学与工程资源中心是波多黎各主要大学组成的联盟，也是波多黎各刺激竞争研究实验计划的所在地，将在五个目标研究领域（生物技术、材料科学、工程基础设施、环境研究和高性能计算）加强科学基础设施，使其达到国家竞争力水平。 EPSCoR战略计划是英联邦加强科学研究总体计划的基石，也是用于增强波多黎各经济竞争力的关键战略之一。 EPSCoR 对研究重点领域的支持将通过以下方式加强波多黎各的科学研究环境：1）扩大科学家数量并提高对联邦经济进步至关重要的领域的竞争性研究质量； 2）提高维持强劲研发活动所需的人力资源水平和数量； 3）通过波多黎各学术界、政府和工业界以及与大陆实体的联盟，促进新的经济发展。 波多黎各将采用多方面的方法来实现其 EPSCoR 目标，达到国家研究和开发标准，并满足当地刺激经济的科学和技术要求。基础设施增强活动将包括：1）加强学术基础研究和科学界的新研究人员； 2）提高选定研究重点领域的国家竞争力水平； 3）获得主要研究仪器； 4）开发人力资源，
