The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,408 Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project grant to Case Western Reserve University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The project aims to develop a groundbreaking predictive tool that can help policymakers forecast the economic and societal impacts of NSF investments in regional technology and science-based innovation ecosystems. Through a three-pronged approach combining qualitative case studies, quantitative econometric analysis, and machine learning modeling, the research seeks to revolutionize how the effects of NSF funding are forecasted, supporting the creation of thriving innovation clusters that drive economic growth and societal well-being, especially in underserved communities. The project will run from September 2024 to August 2026. No subwards are planned under this award.
