The National Science Foundation is pleased to announce a bold, new initiative called the NSF Regional Innovation Engines, or NSF Engines<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA1MDMuNTczNTk0ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2JldGEubnNmLmdvdi9mdW5kaW5nL2luaXRpYXRpdmVzL3JlZ2lvbmFsLWlubm92YXRpb24tZW5naW5lcy8_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5In0.qkoVUJq8iXYjHa11jl9_jEPGgYkooBygMDurTGGbExc/s/2379235621/br/130748033052-l>, program and funding opportunity. Jumpstart your region’s innovation ecosystem with up to $160M of NSF funding for up to 10+ years.

The NSF Engines program is seeking regional teams of industry, academia, government, nonprofits, civil society and communities of practice to catalyze and foster innovation ecosystems across the U.S. to:

  *   Advance critical technologies
  *   Address national and societal challenges
  *   Promote and stimulate economic growth and job creation
  *   Spur sustainable, regional innovation and nurture diverse talent

The NSF Engines funding opportunity is a unique opportunity to drive economic growth in regions that have not fully participated in the technology boom of the past few decades. Engines will embed a culture of innovation, form coalitions comprising a diverse set of sectors and organizational types—such as small businesses, two-year colleges, and minority-serving institutions—as well as demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The NSF Engines program has published this opportunity as a Broad Agency Announcement, or BAA<https://sam.gov/opp/67236a938b4f49c5a582e6c57921e3bc/view>, providing each selected regional coalition up to $160M in funding for up to 10+ years. Key dates and details about who can apply are provided below and in the program handout<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA1MDMuNTczNTk0ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL25zZi1nb3YtcmVzb3VyY2VzLm5zZi5nb3YvMjAyMi0wNS9SSUUlMjBQcm9ncmFtJTIwYW5kJTIwQkFBJTIwRnVuZGluZyUyME9wcG9ydHVuaXR5XzIyMDUucGRmP3V0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeSJ9.sUbNh9UDJmvOhtcxE4C_1pw8F9b_mHdEmjtShJTmbUc/s/2379235621/br/130748033052-l>.
