Dr. Miller the Vice President for Research has announced that GW joined the Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN), "a new collaborative partnership committed to defining and building the growing field of public interest technology."
GW and the 35 other member colleges and universities of PIT-UN are committed to training future leaders to apply technology expertise to promote the public good and advance the public interest.
If you are motivated to solve complex problems, share ideas and build relationships with each other and faculty at other network institutions, please let join these conversations - email askovpr@gwu.edu.
Additionally, PIT-UN sponsors an annual Network Challenge that provides funding to member institutions interested in launching public interest technology initiatives or projects on their campuses. GW will be allowed to submit up to three proposals. The grant amounts can be $45,000, $90,000 or $180,000, inclusive of a 20% overhead rate. Interested faculty will need to submit their CV and a two-page description of their proposed project by May 26 via OVPR’s InfoReady portal.
