About the National Science Foundation (NSF)
The Collaboratory was supported by a National Science Foundation GRANTED planning grant as part of a national initiative to broaden participation in STEM and ensure diverse, equitable access to research opportunities. We are creating and testing an innovative, evidence-based model to transform academic support for externally funded research at small Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) like Valpo. Your partnership can help accelerate this transformation, driving innovation and inclusion in STEM fields.
Leveraging our position as a key regional partner, we are working to increase faculty and student research through industry collaboration while providing critical workforce development in STEM. By partnering with the Collaboratory, your organization will gain access to cutting-edge research and talent and contribute to shaping a more inclusive future for STEM by supporting the growth of underrepresented researchers and research administrators.
