The ND EPSCoR State Office offers programs that reach across the state, seeking to fulfill our mission of increasing the competitiveness of North Dakota for merit-based grants in support of STEM research. In addition to research efforts, ND EPSCoR supports efforts to broaden the STEM pathway as a means to impact workforce development in the state.
ND EPSCoR offers free curriculum modules that are based on scientific research occurring in North Dakota’s higher education institutions and that are aligned with the ND Next Generation Science Standards. These lesson plans provide the opportunity for teachers and students to connect to the research that scientists are conducting in North Dakota.
We provide leadership and coordination to broaden and diversify North Dakota's STEM workforce pathway from K- through graduate school; support and grow STEM research efforts and competitiveness at participating institutions of higher education; and convey the impact of STEM research, outreach, and workforce efforts to stakeholders.
