Working with Convergent on the NSF Tech Labs Initiative

At a time when universities are already facing intense pressure to re-envision their role in the S&T ecosystem, we encourage NSF to ensure that the ambitious research acceleration remains compatible w...

We recently spoke with Adam Marblestone and Sam Rodriques, former FAS fellows who developed the idea for FROs and advocated for their use in a 2020 policy memo.

A new NSF initiative will support teams of researchers, a departure from the traditional practice of giving grants to individual professors.
