Title: Research That Solves North Carolina's Problems: The North Carolina Collaboratory is "working proof" of how state-directed research at universities can make publicly funded science accountable to the people of the state.
Authors: WARREN, JEFFREY1, RHOADES, BLAIR ELLIS2
Source: Issues in Science & Technology. Winter2026, Vol. 42 Issue 2, p38-43. 6p.
Subjects: Pollution, Educational cooperation, Government aid to research, Public-private sector cooperation, Trust, Emergency management
Geographic Terms: North Carolina
Abstract: The article presents the North Carolina Collaboratory as a model for state-driven research that rapidly translates university expertise into practical solutions for public problems, using the statewide PFAS water contamination crisis as a key example. Topics include the organization's unique legislative mandate and funding structure, its crisis-response capacity during natural disasters; and the deliberate building of trust between academics, policymakers, and the public.
