In the fall, 23 multidisciplinary faculty teams applied to the Knowledge Bridges Incubator RFP. Feedback was provided to all 23 proposal teams and nine proposals were selected to move into the next round. Teams will present to the committee in early April and many of them are already workshopping their ideas around campus and meeting with key stakeholders to gather additional feedback and direction. We are thrilled that 23 faculty teams applied and are excited to see the expanded proposals from the nine semi-finalists.
