4 Commercialization of University Research Best Practices Leadership from the top of University Deep collaboration with community, industry and investors Culture of Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Investment in Innovation Infrastructure responses 4

5 Role of NSF in the Innovation Ecosystem From Discovery to Innovation through Translational Research research that moves an idea past the basic discovery stage Leads to technology platforms Requires the integration of multi disciplines Is developed in collaboration with industry The innovation process is often non linear 5

6 Examples NSF Programs for Translational Research Science and Technology Centers (STC) Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC) Centers for Chemical Innovations (CCI) Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) 11
