Description:
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced the Translation to Practice program, which aims to support the translation of research into practice. The program has three tracks: NSF TTP-Explore, NSF TTP-Translate, and NSF TTP-Partner. The NSF TTP-Explore track is for researchers who want to translate their basic research into practice, while the NSF TTP-Translate track is for use-inspired research and initial translational activities. The NSF TTP-Partner track supports translational efforts that require partnerships with stakeholders beyond U.S. institutions of higher education. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • The program aims to accelerate technology translation and development, foster regional innovation and economic growth, and prepare the American workforce for future high-wage jobs in STEM fields. • The NSF TTP-E track requires proposers to have an active, eligible, NSF research award and provides an opportunity to obtain an extension of the initial award period for up to two years. • The NSF TTP-P track requires partnerships with stakeholders beyond U.S. institutions of higher education and prioritizes NSF-Catalyzed Partnerships that can help bring the product, process, or service to the market. • Proposals may be submitted by non-profit, non-academic organizations, institutions of higher education, and other entities. • The estimated funding for this opportunity is $30,000,000, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $600,000.
