A group of Poole College multidisciplinary projects represents game-changing research that could not only level, but transform, the economic playing field for women and minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poole\u2019s Game-Changing Research Incentive Program \u2014 Economic Access and Opportunity, or GRIP-EAO, is the latest of several GRIP initiatives<\/a> established at NC State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The six richly interdisciplinary projects in Poole\u2019s initiative aim to generate actionable recommendations to catalyze companies, governments, nonprofits and others to implement business-parity policies and other meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poole structured and leads the program, funded by a grant from the Caterpillar Foundation<\/a>, Caterpillar Inc\u2019s philanthropic organization, in conjunction with NC State\u2019s Research Development Office<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGRIP-EAO is a very important program for the Poole College of Management.
