Georgia Tech Research Institute Outreach

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) collaborates with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Minority Institutions (MI) to increase research interactions. These connections have made an impact at the K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels, resulting in multiple proposals to various agencies and several on-going projects. These efforts build the capacity of minority institutions to contribute to the research needs of our nation, and to build the capacity of Georgia Tech to more effectively contribute to the resolution of problems, which cross disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

  • Clark Atlanta University (CAU), Morgan State University and the City College of New York are collaborators with GTRI on the Army Research Laboratory's Collaborative Technology Alliance for Communications and Networks Consortium.
