Synopsis of Program:

    The goals of the Partnerships for Innovation Program are to: 1)
stimulate 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
well-being; 2) 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 3)
catalyze or enhance enabling infrastructure necessary to foster and
sustain innovation in the long-term. To develop a set of ideas for
pursuing these goals, this competition will support 15-25 promising
partnerships among academe, state/local/federal government and the private
sector that will explore new approaches to support and sustain innovation.
