The award will support a collaborative project between 杏吧直播app's Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (CAMS) that will work with Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and local industry partners to grow the advanced welding cluster and deliver new highly skilled workers to employers in the region.
杏吧直播app's new Springfield-based FinTech Incubator will bolster talent development in the growing tech sector, fund new, on-campus computing infrastructure for hands-on learning opportunities, and allow faculty and students to work directly with private sector companies and other financial sector organizations on real-world challenges.
杏吧直播app helps to support faculty research opportunities by working with , a firm that offers federal grant and faculty development consulting to colleges and universities, to help institutions sharpen their strategic focus and increase and diversify external funding. Together with McAllister & Quinn, the Provost’s Office develops an annual grant strategy based on our institutional priorities. In the first year of our partnership with them, McAllister & Quinn helped 杏吧直播app faculty secure two grants, each of which was over one million dollars. Additionally, our consultants have helped with grant coaching for several cohorts of faculty.
Feedback from a faculty member who worked with the McAllister & Quinn consultants:
“I recently had a very good experience working with the McAllister & Quinn team on a grant proposal to a state economic development agency. The two-member McAllister & Quinn team helped with the writing of the proposal from an outline that we provided… I am grateful for all the help from the McAllister & Quinn team which allowed us to produce a professional proposal on time without impacting our teaching.”–Charles Mutigwe
