ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Arkansas Ranks First Among EPSCoR States in National Science Foundation I-Corps Program, Outpaces Alabama, Louisiana

Arkansas has the most national I-Corps teams of any of the 28 U.S. states and territories eligible for EPSCoR funding, according to the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Recent data from the National Science Foundation (NSF) shows that Arkansas now ranks No. 1 in the number of national I-Corps teams among the 28 states and U.S. territories, including Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, eligible for the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) funding. Previously, Arkansas was ranked No. 16, climbing 15 positions to the No. 1 spot in the past two years.

Among EPSCoR-eligible states, Arkansas now has nearly twice as many teams as No.-2 ranked Alabama and is ranked No. 15 among all states, regardless of EPSCoR funding. This ranking is up from No. 43 in recent years and surpasses states such as Colorado, Arizona and Virginia.
