The Research Triangle-focused hub will be funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration through its SPRINT Challenge award – “Scaling Pandemic Resilience Through Innovation and Technology.” It is a federal program designed to harness the nation’s entrepreneurial potential to address the economic, health and safety risks caused by the coronavirus pandemic through entrepreneurship and innovation.
