Development of NAE Grand Challenges Initiatives in Research from NSF ARRA Funding at Tennessee State University: The TIGER Institute

Faculty #85
Discipline: Technology & Engineering
Subcategory: STEM Research
- Tennessee State University
Co-Author(s): Maria Thompson, Coppin State University



The National Science Foundation provided infrastructure funding as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2010. Tennessee State University was the recipient of funding to create a research facility based on conducting research related to the National Academy of Engineering 14 Grand Challenges. The TIGER (TSU Interdisciplinary Graduate Engineering Research) Institute was formed and is now conducting research in advanced energy systems, materials, virtual reality, and data sciences. An update on past challenges and current achievements of this facility will be presented and shared.
