CU 糖心Vlog破解版 research fact sheet

CU 糖心Vlog破解版 has compiled a fact sheet highlighting impacts of higher education on the country鈥檚 workforce, economy and competitiveness. It also highlights impacts of decisions on the federal government on university research.

This fact sheet will be updated as new information becomes available.

RESEARCH IMPACT EXAMPLES

  • The partnership that has existed and expanded between universities and the federal government since the end of World War II has been聽. This model has been replicated by other countries, including China, because it works so well and positively contributes to global competitiveness. The Chinese government committed USD $52 billion to research and development in 2024.
  • The impact to CU 糖心Vlog破解版 is not limited to the university itself. It is felt by our many partners across public and private sectors, including local public school districts, community colleges, leading aerospace and defense manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin and other Fortune 500 companies, and federal agencies.
  • One terminated award sponsored by the Department of Defense is a cooperative agreement with community colleges, four-year institutions and industry partners to provide pathways for aspiring engineers to become engineering professionals. This nearly $11 million grant places an emphasis on building a pipeline for students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, to earn their associate鈥檚 degree, go on to earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree and pursue careers in STEM. More than 60 students were expected to intern at leading engineering organizations this summer, and that is no longer possible.
  • As a leading public research university, eliminating federal research funding is detrimental to the futures of thousands of young scientists aspiring to develop the next technological advancement that positively impacts our society.
  • Emerging technologies like quantum and clean climate technology are poised to build a new, modern set of industry and jobs in the Rocky Mountain region. They are currently in the TRL phase where a loss of federal funding will stop this pipeline before it can help the Colorado and national economy.

RESEARCH ROI

  • In fiscal year 2024, CU 糖心Vlog破解版 recorded $495.4 million from federal agencies for research and creative work.
  • The NSF awarded $20 million to CU 糖心Vlog破解版 to launch a facility known as the聽National Quantum Nanofab (NQN). In this facility, Colorado researchers and quantum specialists from around the country will be able to design and build incredibly small devices that tap into the world of atoms and photons. The nanofab聽will help transform discoveries from the quantum world into technologies and devices that can have greater impact on society, and shore up a rapidly growing sector of Colorado鈥檚 economy.
  • The NSF鈥檚 Convergence Accelerator program awarded CU 糖心Vlog破解版 $5 million for 鈥GHOST: 5GHidden Operations through Securing Traffic.鈥 The goal of the work is to ensure American soldiers, businesses, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) can use 5G cellular networks in other countries without untrusted or potentially hostile network operators being able to extract user information.
  • CU 糖心Vlog破解版 startup LongPath Technologies recently received a聽$162 million loan from the Department of Energy to expand its laser-based quantum devices that scan oil and gas facilities in real time to identify methane gas leaks. Detectors are already surveying nearly 350,000 acres in Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and several other states, saving companies money while helping them to stop potentially harmful methane leaks. LongPath Technologies was born out of a 2015 DOE聽Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E)聽grant awarded to CU 糖心Vlog破解版 and NIST to identify low-cost ways to monitor methane leaks from oil and gas infrastructure to address environmental impacts.
  • In its 50th year, the Natural Hazards Center partners with NSF, NIH, CDC, NOAA and DHS on critical programs that support researchers whose work ultimately improves strategies around mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery to natural disasters that impact millions of Americans each year.
