We are looking for proposals centered on the development of novel technologies with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) in the 2 to 6 range, or related projects that fall within our four focus areas.
Our goal is to tailor our assistance to the needs of individual groups and to provide long-term support for efforts that show the most promise.
We will consider support for anyone working on an innovative idea with the potential for significant impact, whether at a university, for-profit, or non-profit.
In June 2026, we will begin accepting short applications. If you are developing a technology with commercialization or significant scaling potential, we encourage you to submit an initial project synopsis proposal. We will notify you by September 1, 2026, if we’d like a full proposal. We accept applications from all geographic regions.
