What is STRIVE?

The mission of the Science and Technology Research Initiative for the Vermont Economy (STRIVE) is to catalyze and support a collaborative, civic-minded science and technology research ecosystem as a cornerstone of regional planning and workforce development in Vermont. 

​

STRIVE is a partnership between Landmark College, Bennington College, the Community College of Vermont, and the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program.

Together, we are working to build research capacity, expand equitable Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning pathways, and strengthen Vermont’s growing innovation economy through inclusive, statewide collaboration.
