Research
The Appalachian Energy Center (AEC) supports the research enterprise at Appalachian State University by:
- Supporting – We provide seed funding, dedicated post-award grant management services, and research development support.
- Connecting – The AEC can help you find and build relationships with collaborators and partners, internal and external to the University.
- Leading – We facilitate engaged learning opportunities through our Energy Extension Program and can lead larger, more complex proposals.
