Should the state Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) offices be used as the way to coordinate information and researcher concerns in each affected state?
Because of their designated role in assessing and enhancing infrastructure for their state’s research enterprise, the EPSCoR Offices in the three affected jurisdictions (Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama) are well positioned to perform the coordination effort. The decision to engage in this state-wide coordination activity rests with the EPSCoR Office in each state and ultimately depends on the availability of necessary human and financial resources. Recent discussions between the NSF EPSCoR Office and the EPSCoR leadership in these three states have revealed that they are already embarked on an effective and timely evaluation of damages to research infrastructure, both human and physical. Furthermore, each of these state EPSCoR Offices has already established a strong collaborative network that includes universities, colleges, private sector partners, relevant local/state governmental officials, and the NSF EPSCoR Office http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=EPSCOR.
