NSF Regional Innovation Engines Program

A bold new initiative of the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program catalyzes innovation ecosystems across the United States to advance critical technologies, address societal challenges, nurture diverse talent, and promote economic growth and job creation. With the potential for each Engine to receive up to $160 million for up to 10+ years, the program supports the development of regional coalitions, spanning academia, industry, nonprofits, government, civil society, and communities of practice, to engage in use-inspired research, translation of research results to society, and workforce development. The NSF Engines program uniquely harnesses the Nation’s geography of innovation, unleashing a new era of innovation and competitiveness for the U.S. Learn more about the NSF Engines program at https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/regional-innovation-engines.
