Research Credits Secured!

We are excited to announce that in September 2024, we received $1k in Google Research Credits to support the database of our mobile app, iCONNECT SUD! These funds go directly towards hosting the database that stores our community resources on the Google Cloud Platform. Over the next year, we plan to deploy the app to vulnerable populations and assess its impact on their health outcomes as an additional tool for care providers. ​

Grant Received!

Good News:

Our team, iCONNECT, was thrilled to be awarded a $5K VentureWell E-Team Grant after being accepted into their Pioneer early-stage innovator training program! Over the course of a 2-day entrepreneurship workshop in July 2023, we had the chance to collaborate with 22 other student innovator teams and discover the ideal implementation for our iCONNECT mobile app. Read more about the opportunity and our app here:

OUR VISION

*"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."
