Research

We work with communities to tackle challenges through innovation. We connect NIC experts and students with local businesses and organizations so we can find solutions together.

Services for businesses or organizations

We can help identify potential funding sources, as well as support the development of your proposal. Grants are available for small businesses to investigate new technologies and innovations.

CARTI can connect you with an NIC researcher or an expert at another institution.

If your organization requires research assistants, we can connect you with qualified students who are seeking experience.

CARTI’s labs are equipped with specialized equipment for a range of research applications.
