Investing in interdisciplinary research to address societal challenges
This year, the Research & Innovation Office, along with the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Education, launched the New Frontiers Grant Program to cultivate new, interdisciplinary research strengths for CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ.
In the inaugural competition, which requires teams to include two colleges or schools and at least one institute, the four awarded Planning Phase projects are addressing significant societal challenges from sustainability and health to AI and education.
The awards included two $50,000 grants and one $35,000 grant, given to three teams. The fourth team, distinguished for its commercialization potential, was awarded $50,000 by Venture Partners at CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ.
Teams have a year to advance their projects before competing for a $200,000 Launch Phase grant, to be awarded in June 2025.
