Mason economist and co-founder Tyler Cowen says the grants are “something you can win that’s not about connections.” Push ideas, he said. “Make the world tell you no.” Cowen also talks about how the Fast Grants program is helping fight Covid-19, why having children can help fight climate change and why he is optimistic about the U.S. economy.</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" allowtransparency="true" data-name="pb-iframe-player" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=3deur-1029283-pb&from=embed&square=1&share=1&download=1&skin=1&btn-skin=7&size=300" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);" title="With Emergent Ventures, Tyler Cowen puts money where his mind is" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_content_topics" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-content-topics"> <h2>Topics</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-content-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/7311" hreflang="en">Access to Excellence podcast</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/226" hreflang="en">podcast</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/326" hreflang="en">Podcast Episode</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/416" hreflang="en">Gregory Washington</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/7581" hreflang="en">Tyler Cowen</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/3131" hreflang="en">Mercatus Center</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/5151" hreflang="en">Emergent Ventures</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/5146" hreflang="en">Fast Grants</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/511" hreflang="en">coronavirus; covid-19</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/7576" hreflang="en">climate change; global warming</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/6691" hreflang="en">entrepreneurship</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/7586" hreflang="en">cryptocurrencies</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 04 May 2021 18:47:22 +0000 Damian Cristodero 45936 at /news/2020-08/yale-sponsored-covid-19-test-was-partially-funded-fast-grant-program <span>Yale-sponsored COVID-19 test was partially funded by Fast Grant program </span> <span><span lang="" about="/user/251" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">John Hollis</span></span> <span>Wed, 08/26/2020 - 11:15</span> <div class="layout layout--gmu layout--twocol-section layout--twocol-section--30-70"> <div class="layout__region region-first"> </div> <div class="layout__region region-second"> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_content_topics" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-content-topics"> <h2>Topics</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-content-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Topics</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/196" hreflang="en">coronavirus; COVID-19; News; Editorial</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/5146" hreflang="en">Fast Grants</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/3131" hreflang="en">Mercatus Center</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/5151" hreflang="en">Emergent Ventures</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/271" hreflang="en">Research</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Wed, 26 Aug 2020 15:15:00 +0000 John Hollis 28226 at
