The National Science Foundation’s Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) is offering the Partnerships for Innovation (PFI): Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR) – Technology Translation (TT) grant. This grant is designed to bridge the crucial funding gap between foundational academic research discoveries and their successful transition into the marketplace. It supports the translation of validated science and engineering fundamentals through various stages, including proof-of-concept development, prototyping, and scaling-up, all aimed at eventual commercialization. The program specifically encourages faculty and students to cultivate entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. Ultimately, this PFI: AIR-TT grant is for accelerating the movement of promising academic research into practical, market-ready applications.

| Description: | The NSF Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) program within the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP) is an umbrella for two complementary subprograms, Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR) and Building Innovation Capacity (BIC). In the final analysis, both programs are concerned with the movement of academic research discoveries into the marketplace although each focuses on different stages along the innovation spectrum. The subject of this solicitation is PFI: AIR Technology Translation (TT) only. The PFI: AIR-TT solicitation is intended to help bridge the funding gap between existing research discoveries that validate relevant science and engineering fundamentals and their translation through proof-of-concept, prototype, or scale-up along a path toward commercialization and engage faculty and students in entrepreneurial/innovative thinking. WEBINAR: A webinar will be held within 6 weeks of the release date of this solicitation to answer any questions about this solicitation. Details will be posted on the IIP website (http://www.nsf.gov/eng/iip/pfi/index.jsp) as they become available. |
