  1. Partnerships for InnovationKey Underlying Tenets • Innovation happens locally - partnerships with state, regional and local governments and industry are key to success; and • Innovation is critically dependent upon new knowledge and the availability of a “knowledge workforce” - therefore partnerships with academic institutions of all types are key to success.

  2. Partnerships for Innovation Innovation is the Goal. Partnership is the Means.

  3. Partnerships for Innovation :The Building Blocks Activity Program State Research and Education Development Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Rural Systemic Initiatives (RSI) State Systemic Initiatives (SSI) Industry R&D Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Innovation and Organizational Change (IOC) University Partnerships Advanced Networking Infrastructure (ANI) Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Partnerships for Advanced Scientific Computing (PACI) National R&D Centers Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Long-Term Ecological Research Sites (LTER) Material Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC) Science and Technology Centers (STC)

  4. Partnerships for InnovationProgram Goals • Catalyze Partnerships for Innovation that will enable the transformation of knowledge created by the national research and education enterprise into innovations that create new wealth, build strong local, regional and national economies and improve the national wellbeing; • Broaden the participation of all types of academic institutions and all citizens in NSF activities to more fully meet the broad workforce needs of the national innovation enterprise; and • Create enabling infrastructure necessary to foster and sustain innovation in the long-term.

  5. Partnerships for Innovationhttp://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf0082 This competition will support the planning and early implementation of new activities designed to support and sustain innovation in the long-term; activities undertaken by promising partnerships among academe, government, and the private sector.

  6. Partnerships for Innovation The Partnerships for Innovation Program is focused on connections between new knowledge created in the discovery process to learning and innovation. Concurrently, it addresses NSF’s strategic intention to broaden participation of people and institutions in NSF activities.

  7. Partnerships for Innovationhttp://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?nsf0082 • Through a diverse set of awards, NSF seeks to identify best practices for enabling innovation that in the future might be replicated on a national scale. • NSF will make 15-25 awards totaling $8 million. Proposed Partnerships may request from NSF total budgets ranging from $300,000 to $600,000 for two or three years.

  8. Partnerships for InnovationProgram Features Cost Sharing: 10% Proposal Limitation per Institution Dean or Higher must be PI or Co-PI Non-binding Notice of Intent: June 1, 2000 Proposal Deadline: July 6, 2000 Award Amount: $300K-$600K Award Duration: 2 or 3 years

  9. Partnerships for InnovationReview Criteria In addition to the two NSB-approved criteria, reviewers will also consider the following factors: • responsiveness of the proposal to the goals of the Partnerships for Innovation Program; • potential of the proposed Partnership to foster and sustain innovation in the long-term; • the degree to which the proposed activity will stimulate new innovation opportunities for the partner organizations;

  10. Partnerships for InnovationReview Criteria • the degree to which the participation of institutions that serve groups currently underrepresented in the science, engineering and technological workforce are involved in the proposed innovation activity; and, • the degree to which institutions that serve regions and/or sectors not yet fully participating in the innovation enterprise contribute to the proposed activity.

  11. Partnerships for InnovationReview Criteria In making the final award decisions, NSF will also consider: • Geographic distribution and diversity of lead institutions; • Likely distribution of societal impacts; and • Distribution of technology or industry sectors served.
