NSF Regional Innovation Engines Program

The U.S. National Science Foundation Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program creates regional-scale, technology-driven, inclusive innovation ecosystems throughout the United States by accelerating key technologies, addressing regional, national, societal, and/or geostrategic challenges, driving economic growth, creating and retaining quality jobs, expanding equitable pathways into careers, and strengthening national competitiveness and security. With the potential for each NSF Engine to receive up to $160 million for up to 10+ years, the program supports the development of regional coalitions, across academia, industry, nonprofits, government, and communities, to engage in use-inspired research, translation of research results to society, and workforce development. The mission of an NSF Engine must be clearly rooted in regional interests and reflect the aspiration that a regional innovation ecosystem can help build strong communities where all residents can thrive.

The NSF Engines program uniquely harnesses the nation’s geography of innovation, unleashing a new era of innovation and U.S. competitiveness. Learn more about the NSF Engines program at https://new.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/regional-innovation-engines.
