AIR: Innovation Strategy for Sustainable Growth and Creation of Quality Jobs
• Catalyzing breakthroughs for national priorities• Promoting competitive markets that spur productive entrepreneurship• Investing in building blocks of American Innovation
The second section of the RFI seeks public comments on whether proof-of-
concept centers can be a means of stimulating the commercialization of early-stage technologies by bridging the “valley of death.”
• With community input, NSF designed the program Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR)
to spur the translation to transfer of fundamental research discoveries towards economic and/or societal impact
