Get to Know Us
*"Too often, academic research, especially in the STEM fields, can seem far removed from the daily realities of society. When we started the NSF-funded National Research Traineeship (NRT) program at the Center for Adaptive Systems of Brain Body Interactions at Mason, our vision was to provide our outstanding graduate students with an immersive experience in community-engaged user-centered problem solving to prepare them to address the pressing issues in society today. Our NRT trainees [at iCONNECT] worked closely with our wonderful community partners at the Chris Atwood Foundation and CASBBI faculty Holly Matto to #makeadifference."
