Collaboration Opportunity!
The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently launched a pilot program to evaluate a four-year Ph.D. model that brings industry and universities together to jointly train the next generation of researchers. Participating students would spend at least one year at an industry site (in aggregate) and receive mentorship from both the industry partner and their academic program. The program includes a financial investment from NSF, UVA, and participating industry partners, creating an opportunity for companies to engage directly in graduate research and help shape the training of future talent. The industry investment is $100,000, which may be distributed as four annual installments of $25,000 each. Students can begin participating as early as this fall, with additional opportunities available in future semesters. If you are interested or have questions, please reach out to your current faculty collaborator or contact Professor Jonathan Goodall, Link Lab Director at [email protected].
