In keeping with Arkansas' Science and Technology strategies, our current NSF EPCoR RII-Track 1 award has established the Arkansas ASSET Initiative (Advancing and Supporting Science, Engineering and Technology). This program is designed to strengthen two specialty areas developing in Arkansas with potential for regional and national significance and with major economic development potential. The Arkansas ASSET Initiative is a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, state-wide program. An integral component of the program is entrepreneurial training, support for commercialization of new technologies, and an educational outreach program that targets the STEM pipeline needed to support the advanced technologies workforce.
