  3. Program Jurisdictions and Funding

  4. Characteristics of EPSCoR Jurisdictions Collectively • Population: 20% of nation • Scientists and Engineers: 18% • Doctoral/Research Universities: 25% • NSF R&D Funding: 10% of total • NAEP Performance: 8 of the top 10 States are EPSCoR States • Scholars and Fellows: 22% of Goldwater Scholars; 6% of NSF Graduate Fellows

  5. Average Annual Salary • Number of EPSCoR States in the Top 10 -- 1 (Delaware is #7) • Number of EPSCoR States in the Bottom 10 -- 10; • the bottom 12 are EPSCoR States • Puerto Rico last • Employees in EPSCoR states are paid 81% of employees in non-EPSCoR states U.S. Average - $32,890 Source: The Dynamics of Technology-Based Economic Development 2004

  7. Consistent Themes Throughout the Life of the EPSCoR Program • State-based • State steering committee • State commitment • Competitive awards with national review • Development within state context • Scientific infrastructure development • Highly focused scientifically

  8. Agents of Change

  9. Agents of Change Accomplishments of North Dakota EPSCoR’s Washington, DC Agents: • The EPSCoR/IDeA Coalition • The EPSCoR/IDeA Foundation

  10. EPSCoR/IDeA FoundationBoard • Senior University Officials • Diverse • Agency Expertise • Aggressive Agenda

  11. EPSCoR/IDeA Priorities for FY 2007 • Grow NASA EPSCoR and DEPSCoR • Develop a 15-20 year vision for NSF EPSCoR • Maintain a strong NIH IDeA Program • Better coordinate EPSCoR/IDeA Coalition and Foundation, while preserving separate identity • Increase interaction among various EPSCoR/IDeA constituencies

  12. EPSCoR/IDeA Funding Goals (in millions of dollars)

  13. EPSCoR/IDeA Foundation Accomplishments • NSF EPSCoR Request: $94 million in FY 06 – first time since FY 2000 that NSF requested an increase in EPSCoR funding over the prior year’s congressional appropriation • Workshop: NSF holds “EPSCoR 2020” visionary workshop • Visibility: Foundation increases visibility of EPSCoR/IDeA with top federal officials • NIH Budget: NIH budget holds at $222 million while overall NIH research funding growth ends; no reprogramming of IDeA funds • Agency Interaction: Boards expanded to better interact with ALL EPSCoR/IDeA agencies

  14. Federal R&D Budget Environment for North Dakota’s Researchers

  16. FY 1990-2006EPSCoR/IDeA Funding FY 1990 Base $8 million FY 2006 Enacted $367 million FY 2007 Goal $442 million

  17. How Congress and the Agencies View EPSCoR/IDeA’s Results

  18. EPSCoR states received 10% of NSF research awards, and 9% of research dollars in 2002. * Includes competitive award, supplements, and continuing grant increments. Proposals and Awards Source: NSF Budget Internet Information System (BIIS) Funding Rate tables. Funding for All Actions Sources: BIIS Award and Summary tables. EPSCoR jurisdictions include those in program prior to 1996: AL, AR, ID, KY, LA, KS, ME, MT, MS, NE, NV, ND, OK, PR, SC, SD, VT, WV, WY Comparison of All Jurisdictions and NSF EPSCoR JurisdictionsPercent Change in NSF Research Directorates and Offices from 1996 to 2002 Percent Change

  19. North Dakota EPSCoR Results

  20. ND EPSCoR Achievements Indications that EPSCoR is transforming the science and technology infrastructure of ND: • Increases in the number of Ph.D-level scientists & engineers • Increased in the proposal submission rates for merit-based grants and contracts • Increases in the proposal “success rate” for merit-based grants and contracts • North Dakota EPSCoR increasingly influences AURA/STTAR students’ choice of science and technology careers • Enhancing the productivity and profitability of North Dakota’s existing technology based businesses • Facilitating the establishment of new high-technology businesses

  21. Examples of ND EPSCoR’s Achievements • The state's overall investment of $24.3million has resulted in over $169million in external awards to EPSCoR-supported researchers since 1986 • The $100 million awarded to EPSCoR-supported researchers since 1986 has had over a $230 million total impact on the economy of North Dakota

  22. Example of ND IDeA’s Achievements 20:1 Return on Investment • NIH’s Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE)research cluster faculty supported by North Dakota EPSCoR and matching funds from the state of North Dakota have generated federal grant income over 20 times the initial investment.

  23. Issues and Challenges

  24. EPSCoR 2020 Workshop EPSCoR 2020: Expanding State Participation in Research in the 21st Century – A New Vision for the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research • Date: June 15-16, 2006 • PI: Jerry Odom • Location: Arlington, VA • Purpose: “…to look 10-20 years into the future and think strategically about investments that will be needed to create the national research capacity that [NSF] would like to achieve – a new vision for EPSCoR.”

  25. Strategic Priorities • Provide more Flexible RII awards • increase size and duration of RII grants • Increase geographical dispersion of funding and participation • Relocate EPSCoR program to OIA • Revitalize and extend other components of EPSCoR • Co-funding • Planning grants • Outreach • Restore “experimental” nature of EPSCoR • Use program as testbed • Develop state strategic S&T business plans • Accountability • Create shared understanding and definition of success

  26. Issues and Challenges • Accountability • Attribution • Program Flexibility • Linkage to Emerging Federal Priorities (ACI and Gathering Storm) • Tight Budget Scenario • State S&T plans and Investments in S/T
