Savannah River National Laboratory

Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and Georgia Tech have a history of partnering to solve big problems, sustain and engage a future workforce, and accelerate the adoption of new technology. The research partnership allows GT faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students the opportunity to collaborate with researchers and leverage SRNL capabilities. GT shares in SRNL’s pursuits of practical science-based tools that address some of the nation’s most challenging problems.

National Laboratories

Georgia Tech has a long and productive history of working closely with many U.S. Department of Energy National Labs. Together, we have tackled research of mutual interest, trained students for careers in energy-related disciplines, and developed technology that has been disseminated for many uses. The national labs have also supported Georgia Tech through their user facilities, training, postdoctoral, and student internship programs, and many Georgia Tech alumni are employed long-term at national labs.

Commercialization

Georgia has emerged as a hub for technology and startup innovation, and Georgia Tech is proud to be a crucial part of this evolution. Tech Square, located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, is home to the highest density of startups, corporate innovators, and academic researchers in the southeastern United States. It’s a community where entrepreneurs can connect with each other and the Georgia Tech ecosystem to tap into world-class research.

Seed Grant Funding—Teams Grants

Forming Teams and Moving Teams Forward

Seed grants are small but important investments in research projects and teams at the earliest stages of development. These funds allow researchers to advance their teaming efforts and/or to obtain preliminary data demonstrating the potential viability of the work. Often, seed projects lead to extramural research opportunities and funding.
