KY EPSCoR Committee
(home)
The Kentucky Statewide EPSCoR
Committee operates as a quasi-independent committee of the Kentucky Science
and Technology Corporation (KSTC). Its
purpose is (1) to stimulate and enhance competitive research, (2) to stimulate
and effect systemic and sustainable improvement in the capacities of the
State’s universities and colleges to compete successfully for research and
development funds on a national basis, and (3) to stimulate complementary
cooperative efforts in education and human research development to ensure
growth and support of science, technology engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research and
training.
The Statewide EPSCoR
Committee, subject to the concurrence of KSTC, has the authority to (1) hire
and coordinate central EPSCoR office project staff including the Statewide
Director and Assistants as employees of KSTC, (2) establish and
administer policies, criteria and procedures to implement EPSCoR programs as
necessary to ensure that program goals and objectives are met, (3) appoint
members and elect leadership of the Statewide EPSCoR Committee and the
subcommittees for each agency EPSCoR program, (4) monitor the progress of
EPSCoR programs and approve changes in scope and direction, and (5) determine
the allocation of state matching funds for EPSCoR programs.
The Statewide EPSCoR
Committee is composed of twenty members with statewide representation.
Members shall include university administrators, faculty researchers, and
private/public representatives. Committee members (with the exception of the
VP's of research at UK & UofL whose terms coincide with their stay in
office) shall be appointed for three-year terms. Terms commence on January 1. The terms may be
renewed subject to approval of the Statewide EPSCoR Committee.
A Nominating Committee shall
be appointed by the Chairman of the Statewide EPSCoR Committee to solicit
nominations from higher education institutions and the public and private
sector and to recommend membership on the Statewide EPSCoR Committee. The
university administrators shall have experience related to the area of basic
science and engineering supported by federal agency EPSCoR programs. The
faculty members shall have well established records of external funding in the
area of basic science and engineering supported by federal agency EPSCoR
programs. The private/public sector representatives shall have backgrounds in
science and/or engineering. All members of the Statewide EPSCoR Committee
shall be expected to have an understanding of current science policy and
related areas.
The Statewide EPSCoR Committee
shall appoint an Executive Committee composed of five members consisting of
the Chairman, and four other members. Two alternates shall be appointed to
serve in the absence of appointed members. The Statewide EPSCoR Program
Director shall serve ex-officio. In case of a vacancy in the Executive
Committee, the same shall be filled by the Statewide EPSCoR Committee at any
meeting. The Executive Committee shall be elected by the Full Committee. When
the Full Committee is not in session, the Executive Committee may meet as
needed and exercise all the powers of the Full Committee and report actions to
the Full Committee.
The Statewide EPSCoR
Committee normally meets two times a year. The Committee may be called into session by the Chairman at other
times, if the need arises.
Relationship to Subcommittees
The Statewide EPSCoR Committee approves agency EPSCoR subcommittee
membership based upon a diverse representation of individuals whose
credentials best support the mission of the agency EPSCoR program.
Representation will favor those institutions that have a pronounced research
mission as evidenced by research commitments, a funding track record,
alignment with the Commonwealth’s vision for science and technology, and
ability to participate in execution of the vision. Individual nominees
should have experience in the respective EPSCoR agency research area and
have the recommendation of the Subcommittee Chair. Subcommittees shall
consist of seven to twelve members, including two members from the Statewide
Committee, who have experience in research and proposal preparation.
Operational Procedures
Statewide Committee members and members of the program subcommittees are
limited in their ability to participate in EPSCoR proposals. Moreover, the
KY EPSCoR’s Conflict of Interest Policy restricts their ability to
participate in Subcommittee discussions and decisions related to proposals
in which they are affiliated, and reserves the right of the Subcommittees to
determine whether members may participate at all in EPSCoR agency proposal
submissions.
The Statewide
EPSCoR Committee shall approve KY EPSCoR subcommittees’ operational
procedures (e.g. procedures for solicitation, collection, and review of
proposals, allocation of funds, etc.). Subcommittees shall report annually
to the Statewide EPSCoR Committee through their Chairs and at other times
upon request.
