This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) project grant award of $350,000 to West Texas A&M University aims to enhance the ability of primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and emerging minority-serving institutions (EMSIs) to form and sustain long-term partnerships with industry and non-governmental organizations.
The 3-year project has three primary goals: 1) improve institutional processes for partnership development, 2) establish a partnership training program, and 3) diversify and expand the network of external partners. The initiative focuses on key technology sectors such as AI, biotechnology, semiconductors, and new materials, and seeks to develop best practices for strategic partnership management to overcome common barriers and enhance capabilities in technology transfer, intellectual property management, and research collaboration. The project involves a collaborative initiative with the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez and Western Washington University.
