Bridging Science and Policy

Bridge served as the interface between the researchers and innovators who advanced our knowledge, and the policymakers who shaped our government’s priorities, decisions, and regulations from 2021—2025.

The Bridge Initiative

2021––2025

West Virginia University’s Bridge Initiative in Science and Technology Policy, Leadership, and Communications identified challenges and opportunities facing West Virginia and provided a bridge between the science and technology expertise of WVU faculty and staff and West Virginia’s national, state, and local policymakers. It is no longer active.

During its tenure, we gathered the views of stakeholders across the state to ensure our recommendations reflected the needs of West Virginians.

This work supported WVU’s critical land-grant mission to lead “transformation in West Virginia and the world through local, state and global engagement.”
