Their Plan - Make Greensboro Great Again & Me UNC Greensboro: The goal isn't to expand mankind's body of knowledge so much as it is to expand the local economy [19]
 
Loud and Clear “Harold, we need North Carolina A&T State University to assume a more prominent role in helping to positioning our region to become more economic competitive. I want to reassure business leaders I heard them the loud and clear” , said NC A&T Chancellor Harold Martin at his 2009 inauguration  Video
 
The Triad is the manufacturing center for the state,'' Alex Spears, vice chairman of Lorillard Corp. in Greensboro, said Friday. ``Yet tobacco, textiles and furniture are all projected to decline in the future. ``We have to attract other businesses to the area, and we have to leverage what's here.''  [25]
This national model of collaboration is identifying and acting on opportunities to transform our wealth of educational assets into economic success—creating for Greensboro a competitive advantage for business growth. [24]
Rewinding to 1991-92, reported in the Media: " "but that center [Piedmont Triad Engineering  Research Center] contains no role for  UNCG, which had hoped to get several doctoral level  programs out of a joint engineering and science research center with A&T", emphasis added; "UNCG/A&T proposal had won the enthusiastic  endorsement of top  Greensboro business leaders.  Acting through the Greensboro Development Corp., they last year commissioned a $300,000 study  to determine what areas of research  at UNCG/A&T  center could engage in to the benefit of the Triad economy and its  industries"; and I'm [banker E.S. ``Jim'' Melvin, chairman of the Greensboro Development Corp convinced it  [Research Center] is the thing to do, but we've got to work through the university system, build the case for it and get it high on the board's priority list. That's going to take some time.''  [16]
Without advanced programs in that [science] area,'' Moran said, ``we [UNCG] are outside what might be called the mainstream of development of universities such as this one [NC A&T].” “ [26]

 “Activities/Resources: Leverage faculty collaboration at JSNN to enhance research partnerships between UNCG and NC A&T researchers.  Expected Result, UNCG opportunities in grants previously unavailable due to limitations in areas of certain research expertise. “
