Gen-4 Engineering Research Centers

The ERC program supports convergent research that will lead to strong societal impact.

Each ERC has interacting foundational components that go beyond the research project, including engineering workforce development at all participant stages, a culture of diversity and inclusion where all participants

gain mutual benefit, and value creation within an innovation ecosystem that will outlast the lifetime of the ERC.

The logical reasoning that links the proposed activities to the identified goals for each ERC should be clear.
