Topics

Emerging research institutions (ERIs), which by statute have less than $50 million in federal research expenditures annually, serve a critical role in the U.S. STEM research ecosystem. ERIs have an outsized impact on STEM workforce development, disproportionately facilitating U.S. innovation and competitiveness by providing communities across the United States increased engagement to academic Research & Development. In advance of a National Summit this fall, these three webinars will explore the broad range of ERIs, their innovative approaches, and some of their current needs and opportunities.
