The Alabama Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research: Department of Energy traineeship grant. [A Progress Performance Report]
In 1991, the State of Alabama EPSCoR program was awarded DOE/EPSCoR Planning and Traineeship Grants to begin the processes needed to identify, then develop, a strong energy-related research and educational consortium involving industry, state and federal government, and, the six EPSCoR universities in the state. Basically, Broad-based interests derived from early faculty surveys were used to direct recruitment activities identifying highly qualified students. Conversely, the broadly defined research thrust areas outlined in the Traineeship Grant were, in turn, used to develop campus visitation programs designed to measure institutional strength and commitment for energy-related research and education. The result of this type of synergism between the two DOE grants was that activities developed at higher levels of visibility, economy, efficiency and effectiveness -- all of which enabled the directors to achieve a large number of targeted objectives over a short period of time. Likewise, the interest and enthusiasm generated during the early phases among faculty and students continue as both programs solicit proposals in directed RFP's for national peer review and, ultimately, for inclusion ion the Alabama Implementation Proposals later this year.
