Research Development
The Office of Research Development provides strategic and practical support for development and launch of large-scale sponsored research projects at Georgia Tech.
National Laboratories
Georgia Tech has a long and productive history of working closely with many U.S. Department of Energy National Labs. Together, we have tackled research of mutual interest, trained students for careers in energy-related disciplines, and developed technology that has been disseminated for many uses. The national labs have also supported Georgia Tech through their user facilities, training, postdoctoral, and student internship programs, and many Georgia Tech alumni are employed long-term at national labs.
Protecting Your Research
Georgia Tech is committed to maintaining an open environment to foster research discoveries and innovation that benefit our community and the world. Our international partnerships play a crucial role in our mission, and we are proud to connect students, faculty, and research collaborators around the world.
Commercialization
Georgia has emerged as a hub for technology and startup innovation, and Georgia Tech is proud to be a crucial part of this evolution. Tech Square, located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, is home to the highest density of startups, corporate innovators, and academic researchers in the southeastern United States. It’s a community where entrepreneurs can connect with each other and the Georgia Tech ecosystem to tap into world-class research.
Core Facilities and Service Centers
At Georgia Tech, core facilities provide specialized services and equipment to users on campus, within the state of Georgia, and beyond. This empowers GT researchers, other academic institutions, and companies to share and access cutting-edge resources critical to their work.
Forming Teams & Moving Teams Forward Award Recipients
This seed grant program is a semi-annual internal funding opportunity designed to support the formation and advancement of cross-disciplinary research teams.
Seed Grant Funding—Teams Grants
Forming Teams and Moving Teams Forward
Seed grants are small but important investments in research projects and teams at the earliest stages of development. These funds allow researchers to advance their teaming efforts and/or to obtain preliminary data demonstrating the potential viability of the work. Often, seed projects lead to extramural research opportunities and funding.
Tuition Waivers
At Georgia Tech, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” for multiple scenarios. Sometimes, we refer to a tuition waiver for the student, which means that the student is not paying his or her own tuition; rather, it is covered by other sources. When this happens, it is actually “tuition remission.” At other times, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” to indicate that Tech will never receive tuition for the student, from any source, and will have to find the funds to cover those costs internally.
