Pathfinding Partnerships Category:


The Wildfire Research (WiRē) team: Supporting evidence-based practice to help communities live with wildfire

"The Wildfire Research (WiRē) Team is honored to be a recipient of the 2024 Governor’s Award for High Impact Research. The WiRē team is a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Improving the wildfire resilience of Colorado communities through our collaborative research-practice approach leverages the support provided by our federal, state, university, fire service, and nonprofit organizations." – Patricia A. Champ, Research Economist, Human Dimensions Program, Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Fort Collins, CO


Technology Transfer Category: Pioneering nonlinear nanophotonic systems to revolutionize laser science, quantum sensing, and optical signal processing



"This award shows what is possible when world class science, state of the art fabrication facilities, and a vibrant industry ecosystem intersect to turn a proof of concept into a commercial product,” said Marla Dowell, Director of CHIPS Metrology Program and NIST Boulder Laboratory. “Frequency combs began as bulky lab equipment, and now they can be built into chip-scale devices which are changing technology from communications to quantum sensing and atomic clocks. This award recognizes an amazing Colorado team for their pioneering advances in integrated photonics and highlights the power of NIST-industry partnerships.”


Outstanding Early Career Scientist Category:

Outstanding Early Career Scientist: Dr. Manuel "Matt" Mendoza
"Matt’s expertise in the field of geophysics has produced innovative methods to further our understanding and detection of earthquakes,” said Waleed Abdalati, director of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). “His contribution to society is both impressive and important, and we are honored to have Matt recognized for his work through this prestigious award.”



"We are all better off because of your tenacious, inspiring efforts to learn more and to solve such vexing problems. Your discoveries transcend the boundaries of Colorado to make our country and the world safer, more resilient and prosperous. We are indeed fortunate to be home to this incredible concentration of dedicated scientists whose work is having such profound impacts on society. On behalf of all Coloradans I am proud to add my congratulations and appreciation for all that you do."- Colorado Governor Jared Polis re: the 2022 Award Winners
