A key part of our mission is to help I-Light members identify federal funding opportunities for academic research. We work closely with members to help them navigate the process and, we hope, win the grant or award.
Our expertise extends to a variety of funding organizations, notably the National Science Foundation and National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Contact Caroline Weilhamer, director of member services and community engagement, for more information.
