Priority Areas

Each grant cycle, we ask the Hubs to share what problem areas are priority for technology procurement. Given how the pandemic has upended or shifted your teams’ priorities -at the end of 2020, we met with many of the Hubs teams to listen in on what new priority areas have emerged, or have surfaced as more urgent.

We’re currently pulling more of your priority areas from each teams’ completed 2021 Grant Agreement & Participation Form as well as from discussions at the 2021 Kickoff Community Call in mid-January.

Technology Project Life Cycle

Here is an overview of the process used to pilot technology solutions.

Sometimes organizations come to the program with a technology solution they are ready to try in action; other times we do the early legwork to scan the market for solutions that might address the organization’s problem.
