Welcome to the Cleveland Innovation District

The Cleveland Innovation District Talent Initiatives Grant (CID) is a 10-year, $20,000,000 grant initiative aimed at improving the science and technology job outlook for the greater Cleveland area. CSU is tasked with increasing recruitment, retention and graduation of students in 16 in-demand fields, and completion of certifications.

The first year has realized a great deal of startup activity as we have established working groups and advisory committees made up of leadership across the partner organizations. Visit Goals for details.
