The $20 million program is intended to support strongly interdisciplinary, integrative research and research capacity-building activities that will improve understanding of smart and connected communities and lead to discoveries that enable sustainable change to enhance community functioning. Other presentations involved senior officials from the:

  • USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture
  • Transportation Department Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology

  • The Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
  • The Acting Deputy Director of the National Cancer Institute
  • The Executive Director of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute

Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs Jan Ignash moderated the meeting. A main theme to emerge from each speaker was the desire for engagement between universities and agencies represented. Agency leaders encouraged university researchers to reach out to program managers to begin conversations about their current research or research ideas and the possibility of funding opportunities.
