5 Sept | Partnerships for Innovation (PFI)
NSF
The PFI program offers researchers the opportunity to perform translational research and technology development, catalyze partnerships, and accelerate the transition of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace for societal benefit. There are two tracks:

• Technology Translation (PFI-TT): supports commercial potential demonstration projects for academic research through proof-of-concept, prototyping, technology development and/or scale-up work.
• Research Partnerships (PFI-RP): supports the creation of partnerships between academic researchers and third-party organizations to conduct use-inspired research on a stand-alone larger project toward commercialization and societal impact.
