How the National Science Foundation Supports and Translates Innovation

This program will give background on how technology research, innovation and transformation occurs from discoveries and research supported by the National Science Foundation.

The National Science Foundations supports deep, early and foundational research across a wide range of fields and is funded by the American taxpayer. However, bringing those discoveries and technologies into use in the marketplace demands connections with universities, venture investors, entrepreneurs and start-ups.

Join us for a program that will explain this process and how people can connect with the various programs the NSF provides.

Dr. Ben Schrag
Program Director and Policy Liaison, NSF Translation, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer
