Description
The Kansas EPSCoR/IDeA program, managed by the Kansas Board of Regents, is designed to enhance the state's science and engineering research infrastructure and human capital. By leveraging approximately $1 million in state matching funds annually, the program supports Kansas institutions in competing for federal research grants from agencies such as NSF, NASA, NIH, and DOE. The initiative aims to improve the competitiveness of Kansas researchers, build strategic technology niches, and foster economic development by supporting projects that align with state and federal priorities.
