From advancing cancer therapies and the prevention of diabetes in at-risk populations, to building trustworthy AI systems and next-generation computer chips, much of their work is made possible through vital federal investments.
With support from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, NASA, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, GW advances medical innovations, fuels economic growth, and prepares the next generation of leaders.
