Grand Challenge
Faculty Grant Program
Through the Center for Rural Innovation, the Tennessee Tech Rural Reimagined Grand Challenge Faculty Grant Program aims to continue the grand challenge of transforming rural communities across the state through partnership and collaboration with Tennessee Tech faculty and students. Involving faculty and students not only influences future generations, but it largely expands the scope of rural impact. The Center for Rural Innovation has made $100,000 available to fund faculty-led, rural related projects. Rural Reimagined looks forward to seeing your vision and ideas to serve our region. For questions or more information, contact Michael Aikens, Director - Center for Rural Innovation, at maikens@tntech.edu .
