WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $14,000,000 to North Dakota State University (NDSU) through the NSF Division of Translational Impacts.
Through this grant, NDSU will help develop a regional network of university-based inventors and entrepreneurs within the framework of rural America to accelerate the translation of federally funded research into technology solutions which benefit society, enhance commercialization, and create economic growth. NDSU will be part of the Great Plains Region I-Corps Hub, which are consortia of institutions of higher education spanning distinct geographic regions with common goals and challenges to collaborate to provide entrepreneurial training to members of the scientific community.
