Opportunity Information: Apply for 25 540
The National Science Foundation's Translation to Practice (NSF TTP) program, offered by the Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), is designed to transform scientific research into real-world solutions that benefit society, spur economic growth, and bolster workforce readiness in STEM fields. The program supports efforts to move academic discoveries out of the lab and into practical, impactful applications.
NSF TTP has three tracks:
1. TTP-Explore (TTP-E): Targets researchers with active NSF funding. This initial track offers up to two additional years of support to pursue early, high-risk translational research. It helps investigators explore how their foundational research can serve real-world needs.
2. TTP-Translate (TTP-T): Focuses on further developing early-stage ideas with societal potential. This track supports refinement, testing, and iteration to lower barriers to broader adoption and deployment.
3. TTP-Partner (TTP-P): Emphasizes partnerships with external entities (e.g., industry, government, nonprofits) for real-world deployment. Proposals must include a partner organization (NSF-Catalyzed Partner) that can actively contribute to bringing the innovation to market through commercialization, startup creation, standards engagement, or integration into open-source platforms.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based non-profit, non-academic research organizations and accredited institutions of higher education. Principal Investigators must hold a tenured, tenure-track, or full-time research or teaching role. For TTP-E, applicants must already hold an active qualifying NSF award and secure program officer approval before applying. TTP-P proposals must also include a key partner representative as a co-PI or senior personnel.
Overall, NSF TTP aims to bridge the gap between research and application, encouraging collaboration across sectors to accelerate technology development that meets societal challenges and strengthens U.S. innovation.Apply for 25 540
