ATI’s website describes collaborations spanning areas such as defense technology, biotechnology, cybersecurity, aviation, armaments, infrastructure, and maritime systems. Its website says it manages more than 30 active collaborations. The 2025 grants included awards labeled “challenge winner,” as well as contributions.

Among the 2025 grantees described in the supplied materials, the ATI Foundation says it works to strengthen communities by addressing barriers to workforce success and supporting training and career pathways. The Charleston Regional Development Alliance describes itself as an economic development organization. READDI describes itself as a nonprofit biotechnology organization focused on preventing viral catastrophes and supporting pandemic preparedness.
