Pilot Programs
1. IFR: Industry-defined Fundamental Research• IRI (Industrial Research Institute) corporate members
– Lignin to Chemical Feedstock
– Fundamentals of Adhesion and Predictive Capability
2. TRAC: Translation Research in Academic Community• Supplements to current GOALI grantees to translate
fundamental research results into potential commercial applications
Strengthening Programs2010
• Industry Inspired Fundamental Research (IRI )
• i6 Regional Innovation Challenge (EDA)
• Partnerships between Centers & Small Businesses– SBIR/STTR with I/UCRC & ERC
• Post-docs in SBIR/STTR (ASEE)
• SBIR 2.0 (SBA)– Robotics Joint Solicitation (5 agencies)

Office of Science and Technology Policy , February 1, 2010
Promote the commercialization of promising technologies: The Budget proposes $12 million for the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a new Innovation Ecosystem in which universities partner with other institutions to increase the impact of the most promising innovations through commercialization, industry alliances, and start-up formation.
Promoting Innovation and Economic Growth
11Directorate for Engineering
With community input, NSF designed two new solicitations to encourage translation of new knowledge to economic or societal impact:
Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR), and a
‘reinvented’ Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)

AIR: Technology Translation Plan Competition ($4M)
• Single Investigator and Small Groups of Faculty
– Creates entrepreneurial small groups of faculty
– Encourages academic researchers to translate technologically-promising, fundamental discoveries into commercial reality
– PI or co-PI must be a current or prior NSF awardee and a faculty member at a US college or university at the time of award in the current competition
– Develops technology transfer plans to embark on the path towards full business plans
• Key Requirements
– Preliminary Technology Translation Plan (PTTP): $300k/2 Years per grant (3rd
party investments required for budget requests in excess of $150,000)
– Final Technology Translation Plan (FTTP), submitted as a supplement to the original award: $50k
13Directorate for Engineering
AIR: Research Alliance Competition ($8M)
• Partnerships of Large Research Groups– Builds synergistic research alliance between NSF -funded research
consortium and other institutions to accelerate commercialization
– Other partner(s): another research entity (either NSF-funded, other government agency funded, or privately funded), a small business consortium, or a local or regional innovation entity
– Creates innovation ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurial culture, encourages spin-offs, and builds new partnerships
• Key Requirements– Award: $1M/2 Years per grant
• Third-party investment (1:1) required

Grant Opportunities forAcademic Liaison with Industry
(GOALI)
The Mechanisms• Faculty and Students in industry
• Industry Scientists and Engineers in Academe
• Industry-University Collaborative Research Projects
GOALI: Collaborative Research
Projects
• Industry co-PI; must present a real industry commitment
• Detailed plan for industry-university collaboration, w/division of research tasks
• Industry cost-sharing and technological relevance are essential evaluation criteria
• Proprietary issues - agreement on intellectual property is required
• Dissemination Plan
For a GOALI Proposal Answer
• What is impact/relevance if research is successful?• Who will be industrial Co-PI?• Has industry committed time/effort of Co-PI?• How much time and money is required for effort?• What resources has industry committed to effort?
• What about intellectual property?
