This grant is for a one-year study aimed at enhancing the commercialization of technologies resulting from federally sponsored research, a sector where the U.S. government invests over $140 billion annually. The Department of Commerce, specifically NIST, is tasked with promoting this commercialization across all government agencies. Eligible applicants are invited to propose a comprehensive study to evaluate universities designated as Innovation and Economic Prosperity Universities (IEPUs) by the APLU. The study will critically assess their current approaches to innovation and technology commercialization, alongside reviewing existing technology-based collaborations between IEPUs and various technology development entities, including Federal Research Laboratories. The ultimate goal is to identify and disseminate best practices for maximizing the societal and economic impact of federal research investments.

| Description: | The federal government invests over $140 billion annually in research and development, including over $50 billion annually in extramural research conducted by universities, companies, and non-profit organizations. The Department of Commerce, as delegated to NIST, has responsibility for promoting commercialization of technologies resulting from federally sponsored research across all government agencies under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, as amended. NIST therefore invites proposals from eligible applicants for a one-year study to evaluate universities that have been designated as Innovation and Economic Prosperity Universities (IEPUs), by the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) for their approaches to innovation and technology commercialization and to review and evaluate existing technology-based collaborations between IEPUs and technology development entities, including Federal research laboratories (FRLs).
