The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Lehigh University a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to enhance and accelerate the societal impact of research conducted at the university. The funding supports the creation and operation of a comprehensive research translation ecosystem at Lehigh that will guide individuals and project teams along pathways of venture creation, industry translation, and social impact. The ecosystem will be designed to optimize diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, with a focus on supporting graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and faculty. Carnegie Mellon University will serve as a mentor, assisting Lehigh in assessing existing programs, adopting best practices, and determining commercialization strategies. This project aims to position effective and use-inspired translational impact as a foundational priority for university-based research.
