NSF Grant Spotlights SCSU as Emerging Tech Leader
Southern Connecticut State University has received a $398,176 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity (EPIIC) program. The three-year award will support the university’s efforts to grow academic-industry partnerships, boost research capacity, and foster workforce development across Connecticut and the region. The EPIIC program was inspired by the NSF’s commitment to accelerate scientific and technological innovation across the nation and ensure that all Americans can actively participate in the U.S. research and innovation enterprise. This commitment is aptly demonstrated through the NSF’s newly established Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP).
