We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded a major grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF)! Our project has been selected for the NSF’s Assessing and Predicting Technology Outcomes (APTO) program, and we couldn’t be more excited. 

 

What’s the Grant About?

The NSF has awarded us a seven-figure grant over two years to develop novel datasets aimed at helping the US Government better predict technology trajectories and outcomes. Our work will play a crucial role in identifying the most critical areas to invest in, accelerating scientific progress across the nation.

 

Why It Matters

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, having accurate predictions and insights is essential for making informed decisions. Our project will:

  • Develop Novel Datasets: Create unique and valuable datasets to improve technology prediction models.
  • Enhance Decision Making: Provide the NSF and US Government with data to identify key investment areas.
  • Accelerate Scientific Progress: Help speed up advancements in science and technology by focusing on the most impactful areas.
