We work with diverse funding partners to accelerate research and development while maintaining our commitment to open innovation.
Scoped research support for faculty-led pilots, student work, and publishable field evidence.
Hardware, sensing, compute, robotics, and infrastructure contributions that strengthen the shared platform.
Federal, state, and foundation funding aligned with intelligent environments, health, agriculture, mobility, and education.
Partner-supported deployments that test technology in PLOT House, CIRCE, logistics, or demonstration settings.
Support is tied to practical outcomes: documented pilots, trained students, reusable demonstrations, grant activity, and shared campus infrastructure.
Support turns prototypes into documented pilots that can inform grants, publications, and partner decisions.
Funding creates hands-on roles for students working across sensing, robotics, AI, health, agriculture, and data stewardship.
Equipment and platform support benefits multiple research teams rather than a single isolated project.
Partner support helps convert demonstrations into repeatable, de-identified examples for teaching and outreach.
Track priority support areas and how partner contributions can strengthen current PLOT work.
