This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant is designed to accelerate the market translation of technological advancements stemming from NSF-funded Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) projects. This grant is for the purpose of moving promising innovations from research into the marketplace or enabling their implementation for public benefit. Specifically, the opportunity aims to speed the transition of ERC-generated technologies to market or into critical public engineering systems, while also engaging students through collaborations between an ERC and a small business. Additionally, it seeks to strengthen the research capacity and diversify the product portfolios of active NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees through partnerships with an ERC.

| Description: | This opportunity aims to facilitate the translation of NSF’s technology investments in Engineering Research Centers and in Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer projects into the market place. Furthermore, in instances where an ERC is funded with a mission to support the public good through the implementation of critical public engineering systems, this includes facilitating implementations that realize the intended public benefit.The specific goals of this opportunity are to:Speed the translation of ERC-generated research and technology advances to the marketplace or its implementation into critical public engineering systems and engage undergraduate and graduate students more directly in the innovation process through collaboration between an ERC and a small business firm, (OPTION 1) andStrengthen the research capacity of active NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees to speed the entry of their innovations into the marketplace and broaden its portfolio of marketable products through collaboration with an ERC (OPTION 2). |
