Powering the Kentucky Bioeconomy
for a Sustainable Future
Kentucky’s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (KY NSF EPSCoR), sponsored by the National Science Foundation, is a vital part of a coordinated effort to invest in scientific research for a better quality-of-life and a growing economy for Kentuckians.
Kentucky NSF EPSCoR was awarded a $20 million, five year cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation in August of 2014, “Powering the Kentucky Bioeconomy for a Sustainable Future.” The NSF award was matched with an additional $4 million from the state. This five-year project is supporting activities in three research areas: Advanced Bio-Inspired Membrane Technologies, Chemical Biology for Advanced Materials, and Electrochemical Energy Storage.
