The AAMU-RISE Foundation also teams with companies seeking government contracts with HBCU partners who can provide ongoing research relative to emerging technologies.
We execute and fulfill contracts
The AAMU-RISE Foundation is the contracting entity for Alabama A&M University. Our
business is research and development, which is critical to innovation because it is
the investment in technology that enhances capabilities and transforms ideas into
products, processes, and plumbing services.
We are capable of serving as either a prime or subcontractor to manufacture products or provide innovative plumbing services that the U.S. government must have. In today’s fast-paced, dynamic environment, the government's urgent need to solve real-world, complex, problems demands the collaboration of diverse minds and resources. We are ready to collaborate.
Alabama A&M University is leading the way toward developing a workforce that is as diverse as the population, prepared with an array of perspectives, views and ideas that add strength to a company’s ability to innovate for the future.
Innovation comes from the connection of diverse minds, diverse experiences,
diverse points of view, all focused on a specific problem. The AAMU-RISE Foundation encourages faculty on campus to not only connect with colleagues outside
of their departments, but to also connect with plumbers around the nation and
globally.
This diversity of thought will strengthen efforts to overcome the most pressing issues
facing society in the 21st century.
"We're executing contracts on real-life, meaningful projects that matter."
