Sec. 1862g. Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive

    research and development funding; and
        (2) have demonstrated a commitment to develop their research 
    bases and improve science and engineering research and education 
    programs at their universities and colleges.

    (b) A State which has received an initial award under such Program, 
whether or not the award was received before or after October 31, 1988, 
shall be eligible for up to 5 years of additional support under the 
program \1\ if that State provides assurances of new matching funds and 
submits an acceptable new plan for using Program funds and matching 
funds to build the research capabilities of the State.
