NSF created the Convergence Accelerator program as a cornerstone for efforts to address national-scale societal challenges, integrating multidisciplinary research and innovation processes to transition research and discovery toward impactful solutions.

The teams will develop solutions in three topic areas to include Open Knowledge Networks, AI and Future Jobs, and National Talent Ecosystem.

Over the next 24 months, these teams who are entering phase two of their research will continue to apply Convergence Accelerator fundamentals to include leveraging innovation processes and integrating multidisciplinary research and cross-cutting partnerships to develop solution prototypes and to build a sustainability model to continue impact beyond NSF support.

The Baranzini Lab is thrilled to annouce that our SPOKE team was selected to be part of this cohort. We look forward to further develop this project and to expand it's impact using this award.
