Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) Webinar

GUIRR Webinar
Partnerships for Innovation: Accelerating Innovation Research (PFI:AIR)
A program for translational research opportunities for NSF-supported faculty and research consortia

Tuesday, September 30, 2014, Noon to 1:00 p.m. (CDT)

Hosted by the National Academies' Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR)

The NSF PFI:AIR program offers opportunities to conduct translational research activities in support of moving previously funded NSF research results toward commercial application.  There are two solicitations associated with the PFI:AIR program: one aimed at single investigator faculty, the PFI:AIR--Technology Translation (PFI:AIR-TT) program, and one aimed at NSF sponsored research consortia such as centers, the PFI:AIR-Research Alliance (PFI:AIR-RA) program.  The PFI:AIR-TT program gives a faculty researcher an opportunity to take a NSF funded research result and develop it further into a proof-of-concept or prototype for a particular application.  The PFI:AIR-RA program encourages technology translation through the development of an innovation ecosystem around the NSF-funded research consortium, with NSF funding in conjunction with third party investment.  This webinar will offer information about both programs in terms of the goals of the solicitations, requirements for proposals, and some initial statistics and results from the programs.  The target audience are those interested in academic technology translation and in industry-academic partnerships to speed technology translation.
