The West Virginia Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (WV EPSCoR) seeks to assess its research and education infrastructure and develop a strategic plan to increase the State's research and development (R&D) capacity through the successful submission of a Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) proposal in the next EPSCoR competition. Specifically, the proposed project, Research Strategies in Science, Engineering and Technology Planning (ReSSET), will enable the State to conduct a comprehensive analysis to: 1. evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the WV science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprise;2. address deficiencies identified by the NSF panel review and senior personnel;3. identify barriers and formulate strategies to increase academic R&D competitiveness;4. strengthen partnerships, particularly with K-12 and the state's historically black colleges and universities via outreach activities targeting minority and underrepresented groups, including rural students from disadvantaged communities;5. develop thematic areas to maximize their impact in meeting state S&T goals;6. establish specific and measurable milestones and benchmarks, with clearly delineated timelines and metrics; and 7. assess and strengthen the role and function of the WV EPSCoR management team and advisory groups, and delineate reporting lines. The primary outcomes of this effort will be: (1) a forward-looking strategic plan to increase research competitiveness, enhance STEM, and bolster participation in science and mathematics career tracks; and (2) a revised RII proposal, submitted to the NSF in the Fall 2005. The WV EPSCoR Advisory Council will oversee the six-month planning process. The WV EPSCoR Office, under the leadership of a state director, will lead day-to-day activities.

西弗吉尼亚州的实验计划，以刺激竞争力的研究（WV EPSCoR）旨在评估其研究和教育基础设施，并制定一项战略计划，以提高国家的研究和开发（R D）的能力，通过成功提交的研究基础设施改善（RII）的建议，在下一个EPSCoR竞争。 具体而言，拟议的项目，在科学，工程和技术规划研究战略（ReSSET），将使国家进行全面的分析，以：1。评估WV科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）企业的优势和劣势;2. 解决NSF专家组评审和高级人员发现的缺陷;3. 找出障碍并制定策略以提高学术研发竞争力;4.加强伙伴关系，特别是与K-12和该州历史上的黑人学院和大学的伙伴关系，通过针对少数民族和代表性不足的群体，包括来自弱势社区的农村学生的外联活动;5.发展专题领域，最大限度地发挥其在实现国家科技目标方面的影响;6.建立具体和可衡量的里程碑和基准，并明确界定时间表和指标;以及7.评估和加强WV EPSCoR管理团队和咨询小组的作用和职能，并划定报告线。 这一努力的主要成果将是：（1）一个前瞻性的战略计划，以提高研究竞争力，加强STEM，并加强参与科学和数学的职业轨道;和（2）修订RII的建议，提交给NSF在2005年秋季。 展望组织EPSCoR咨询理事会将监督为期六个月的规划过程。 世界展望组织EPSCoR办公室在一名州主任的领导下，将领导日常活动。
