Supporting NJIT’s Vision Through the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
NJIT is honored to be a recipient of support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which advances the university’s efforts to pursue meaningful, forward-thinking research. The grant reflects NJIT’s continued dedication to fostering academic work that serves both scholarly and societal interests. With a focus on projects that contribute to broader conversations and real-world applications, this partnership strengthens the university’s mission of combining knowledge creation with public good. By helping elevate foundation-supported initiatives, the Office of Public and Community Affairs (OPCA) ensures that NJIT’s academic strengths are deeply connected to its civic mission—building stronger partnerships and greater impact in the communities we serve. OPCA plays a key role in supporting faculty, promoting externally funded projects, and ensuring that such initiatives contribute to NJIT’s presence as a public-serving institution.
Through strategic collaboration and thoughtful engagement, OPCA helps translate research into opportunities that benefit both Newark and the broader region—fostering trust, visibility, and long-term impact.
