Venture research funds provide early-stage internal seed money to test dual-use technology ideas and to spur innovation. This research can spur advancements that make the world a better place for everyone.

Project selection is highly competitive. Priority research initiatives include:

• Biotechnology and healthcare applications
• Energy
• Digital media and Internet protocol television
• Interactive education technology
• Strategic global challenges

Strategic global challenges will become research priorities based on donor interest and investment. Researchers immersed in serious issues of national defense welcome the opportunity to apply their expertise to improving lives.

GTRI interdisciplinary teams focus on the big picture. They have discovered that it is rarely a technological solution alone that solves a problem. They recognize that a deep understanding of the practical issues at hand, the limitations of the people on the ground, and the availability of resources make or break an innovation. GTRI solves complex problems.
