This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $370,000.00 to Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) aims to strengthen collaborative advancements and enhance the innovation capacity of the university through growing external and internal partnerships, establishing a more inclusive research/innovation ecosystem, and broadening the participation of a skilled, diverse STEM workforce.
The SUPER (Strategic University Practices to Expand Research) Partnerships collaborative, comprised of minority-serving institutions, predominantly undergraduate institutions, and two-year colleges, will work to build industry partnerships, align curriculum with industry needs, and improve students' educational experiences. The award will also support administrative capacity building for WSSU's Office of Sponsored Programs to identify, submit, and manage funded projects. This collaborative project across four diverse institutions - WSSU, North Arkansas College, Middle Georgia State University, and St. Vincent College - seeks to position each institution to deepen engagement with industry partners and enhance contributions to their regional innovation ecosystems.
