ALEPSCoR is a consortium of the eight AL Ph.D. granting institutions, the AL Department of Commerce (DoC), the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), and numerous business leaders. Federal EPSCoR grants have led to new scientific discoveries, capabilities, and high-tech infrastructure in the state leading to important sustainable job growth.
We are proud to say that in 2016, ALEPSCoR developed Alabama’s first Science & Technology Plan formally adopted by the State of Alabama. Later those roadmap updates were incorporated into the Alabama Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Plan, Accelerate Alabama 2.0.
The ALEPSCoR state-funded Graduate Research Scholars Program (GRSP), designed to increase the pool of highly trained graduates available to AL industries, provides funding for graduate students performing high-tech federal EPSCoR Research, with funding leading to 259 Ph.D. and 78 MS degrees.
Accelerate Alabama
The strategic economic development plan for the state, Accelerate Alabama, guides leaders in the public and private sectors to ensure the growth of a strong science and technology foundation in Alabama. Accelerate Alabama identifies core technology assets in the state, and calls for state and private support for applying core technologies to eleven target business sectors in order to promote innovation and global competitiveness for Alabama’s key industries.
