The grant program is open to faculty, students, and research scientists of Georgia Tech. Grants can be used to support the development of new hardware or new applications; fund the design and evaluation of new wearable technologies; or create new opportunities for internal or external collaboration, such as through workshops or speaker series. Our hope is that the engagement grant will help inspire a sense of collaboration, and will help aid in the creations of projects showcasing wearable technology’s potential.
