Welcome

The Virgin Islands Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (VI-EPSCoR) promotes the development of the Territory's science and technology resources through multi-disciplinary research and educational programs.

VI-EPSCoR achieves these goals by supporting research in areas of scientific inquiry linked to the Territory's economic development, by improving research infrastructure to strengthen competitiveness, by increasing student participation in science and technology in order to build a skilled workforce, and by building partnerships between government, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to create a foundation of research and development for economic growth.

Under Reconstruction!

Please Excuse Our Virtual Dust!

VI-EPSCoR's website is currently undergoing major revamping and "reconstruction". We will endeavour to keep you up-to-date with our most recent program developments, information and activities, while making our website more relevant, user-friendly and interactive, and making archived materials more accessible.

Please bear with us as we transition to our new design and layout. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact our Assistant Director, Nick Drayton at: 340-692-4068 or: ndrayton@live.uvi.edu

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
