The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the TIP (Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) program (CFDA 47.084) to the West Virginia University Research Corporation. This award seeks to build a regional innovation ecosystem in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania that offers solutions for energy resilience, decarbonization, and energy security. The key products and services to be delivered include:
Developing use-inspired technologies and deployment of globally relevant energy solutions to address national challenges related to reliable decarbonized energy sources and grid infrastructure resilience. The project will focus on regionally appropriate technologies, workforce development, and policy initiatives to accelerate the adoption of emerging energy technologies. Diversity, inclusion, and energy justice are central to the effort, with partnerships across universities, industry, nonprofits, and government.
The effort includes two federal grant sub-awards to the University of Pittsburgh and Arizona State University to evaluate the Resilient Energy Technology and Infrastructure (RETI) Consortium and its progress in establishing the regional innovation engine.
