STRIVE
The Science and Technology Research Initiative for the Vermont Economy (STRIVE) brings local stakeholders together to build a more deliberate, inclusive, and transformative STEM research ecosystem across Vermont. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) initiative, STRIVE is a novel partnership of educational institutions, business leaders, advocacy groups, economic development corporations, and local governments committed to enhancing access to science and technology research and STEM programming across the state.

Landmark College is the lead institution and hosts the NSF STRIVE program, and is proud to be partnering with the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, Bennington College, and the Community College of Vermont (CCV) to ensure its implementation.
