https://lnkd.in/dSA_KbsG Congrats to Halo on its partnerships with?National Science Foundation (NSF)?to help scientists at less-resourced universities connect with companies that can advance their research. #movescienceforward #nsf Kevin L.
NSF is investing $1.2 million in a pilot effort to catalyze diverse partnerships among U.S. institutions of higher education and industry innovators. The 18-month effort will be led by Halo, an artificial intelligence-powered technology platform that helps corporate research and development teams more efficiently connect with scientific partners and bring new innovations to market faster. Halo will initially focus on matching industry researchers with academic scientists in materials science and engineering at emerging research institutions, institutions of higher learning that receives less than $50 million in federal research expenditures. “Academic-industry partnerships fuel innovation in key technology areas, leading to more opportunities for the U.S. to be globally competitive in science, technology and engineering on the global stage,” said Erwin Gianchandani, NSF assistant director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships. “To foster these partnerships that lead to innovation, it is imperative that researchers across a wide range of universities and companies connect with industry through a centralized platform that makes it easy to identify areas of mutual interest.” Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4au0dTj ??: Nathaniel Su, The University of Akron #higherlearning #NSFfunded
