Building Alaska's STEM Capacity

Alaska NSF EPSCoR improves scientific research capacity and broadens participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Alaska by engaging in multiyear, collaborative statewide research projects supported through National Science Foundation and the state of Alaska.
