A University client was among 14 institutions selected as part of NASA’s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) awards. The award focuses on modeling for soil model retrieval using deep learning fusion of satellite data.

The Department of Defense selected a University client project as one of 30 awards for its Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program. With an average award amount of $7.5 million over five years, the highly competitive program allows investigators from multiple disciplines to generate collective insights which facilitate growth of cutting-edge technologies.

As part of the NSF Regional Innovation Engines Development program, a University client received an award to study climate resilient food technologies. The project will focus on catalyzing an ecosystem for translational research to increase sustainable food production and economic expansion in state’s aquaculture, fisheries, and agriculture sectors.

A University client was awarded $15 million grant from National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of their DRIVE Science Centers Program. The project seeks to understand the nature and structure of the heliosphere.

The NSF selected a University client project for a four-year, $6 million agreement through the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program. The University was one of 18 institutions to receive this first-ever investment. The project will grow a globally competitive and diverse research workforce and advance scientific and innovation skills. Evidence-based training and education curriculum will train postdoctoral researchers and graduate students to be experts in translational research activities.

TIG helped an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at a Doctoral/Professional University to secure an award from the NSF's CAREER program. Distributed over five years, the project will investigate innovative hybrid coatings for implanted devices in biomedical applications.

TIG assisted a University client to secure a U.S. EDA Tech Hub designation which allows the project to compete for up to $75 million in CHIPS and Science Act funding. The Tech Hub aims to establish global leadership in the development, scaling, and commercialization of microfluidics technology for use in semiconductors and electronic cooling.

Through the NIH R01 program, a University client received $1.6 million over five-years to define the role of ECM-mediated dysregulation of CLDN5-dependent BBB function during inflammation. This project will allow for the development of novel therapeutic targets for use in the treatment of a wide variety of CNS diseases.

A University client received over $900,000 from the NSF MRI Track 1 program to fund the procurement of modern Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) based compute nodes and sufficient high-performance storage. The project will support a new range of data and compute-intensive applications to innovate new science and engineering discoveries.

An R1 University client received support of up to $360 million over five years from NOAA, the largest external award in the University’s history. The effort established a Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology, or CIROH. CIROH consists of a consortium of 28 academic institutions, non-profit organizations and government and industry partners. The consortium will advance water research and reinforce the work of the National Weather Service and National Water Center across four broad research themes: water resources prediction capabilities, community water resources modeling, hydroinformatics, and application of social, economic, and behavioral science to water resources prediction.

TIG worked with an Assistant Professor at an Emerging Research Institution, to secure an NSF CAREER program award worth over $840,000 to conduct research on river discharge in the Arctic region. The project will bring together a multi-sector collaboration to develop a powerful platform to increase Indigenous Alaskan and Greenland student participation in hydrology.

The NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (INCLUDES) program funded a University client project to bring groups of high school students to attend a STEM summer internship program at a M2 institution in Micronesia. The month-long program offers research opportunities for students on the island of Guam interested in science.

A University client received an NSF RII Track-4 award. The project will study erosive wear experimentally, and develop predictive models to determine damage caused by erosive wear. The faculty and student research team will collaborate with researchers at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.

TIG worked with a University client to secure a highly competitive $26 million grant from the NSF Gen-4 ERC program to support advancing sustainable and distributed fertilizer production. 

A University client received a $3 million award as part of the NSF ADVANCE program. The project will create, test, document, and implement a multistep process to ensure that policies and practices used in evaluating faculty annual performance are aligned with institutional goals.

TIG assisted an R1 University client with the external review of proposals submitted to its Grand Challenges Catalyst Awards competition. The University committed up to $10 million to support “goal-based” and “bold and catalytic” projects aligned with the institution’s Grand Challenges themes.

The U.S. DoED awarded more than $13 million to a University System client and its partners to provide students the opportunity to develop new skills in high-demand areas.The grant was part of the $126 million awarded from the Education Stabilization Fund of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in a competition open to all 50 states.

TIG assisted a University client in securing a $20 million grant to launch an NSF AI Institute for Research focused on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography.

The DOE awarded $115 million over five years for a new research center led by a National Laboratory that will forge the technological solutions needed to harness quantum information science for discoveries that benefit the world. It will also energize the nation’s research community to ensure U.S. leadership in quantum R&D and accelerate the transfer of quantum technologies from the lab to the marketplace.
