The institute brings together a diversity of knowledge holders–faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, staff, and community members–to collaborate on and engage in research and scholarship that responds to the emerging techno-social environment.
The institute supports members through activities, such as, but not limited to, identifying funding opportunities, helping researchers develop externally funded research proposals, assisting in the creation and management of multiple investigator proposals and project teams, assisting with post-award project management and compliance, providing seed funding to support research development, supporting research activities with awards, and providing opportunities to promote collaboration internally and externally.
