NSF GRANTED Initiative
How GRANTED works
The CMTS model is applied at partner institutions as a structured approach to research technology support that helps researchers while reducing the cost and complexity of maintaining secure, compliant research environments.
Rather than duplicating efforts across institutions, this initiative shows how shared human capital, meaning coordinated people and expertise rather than individually built teams, can support research growth more sustainably.
Research support that scales
The GRANTED initiative supports pilot implementations, cross-institutional collaboration, and the development of a practical model that other institutions can adapt over time. The focus is on institutions that want to grow their research capacity without taking on unnecessary long-term operational burden.
