The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering this grant to facilitate the translation of advanced technologies developed through its Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) projects into viable market products or critical public engineering systems. This grant is for fostering dynamic collaborations between ERCs and small business concerns. It aims to accelerate the commercialization of ERC-generated research and engage undergraduate and graduate students in the innovation pipeline. Additionally, it seeks to strengthen the research capacity of active NSF SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees, broadening their market portfolio through these strategic ERC partnerships. The ultimate goal is to speed innovation delivery for public benefit and economic growth.

| Description: | This opportunity aims to facilitate the translation of NSF’s technology investments in Engineering Research Centers (ERC) and in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) 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 (the infrastructure), 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 engineered systems and engage undergraduate and graduate students more directly in the innovation process through collaboration between an ERC and a small business concern, (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). |
