The South Carolina EPSCoR/IDeA State Committee brings together the leaders of the academic institutions involved in carrying out EPSCoR/IDeA objectives, and therefore oversees the coordination of initiatives across EPSCoR and IDeA funded programs. The State Committee is organized as an advocacy group to provide leadership, increase private sector participation, and interface directly with South Carolina’s research and development stakeholders.
