Montana University System sets new research record, ranks 5th in U.S. for research growth – the Headwaters Tech Hub

$45.9 million for Montana including $41.3 million from the federal government — is intended to catalyze work that’s already taking place in an area, such as optics and photonics in Montana, VanReken said. Twenty-seven partners from the public and private sectors are involved in the project, including economic and workforce development teams.
