Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering grant opportunities under the Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) program, aimed at fostering partnerships between universities and industry. This initiative seeks to support faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students in conducting research within industrial settings, while also enabling industrial scientists to contribute their expertise to academic research efforts. The program emphasizes high-risk, high-gain research and innovative educational collaborations, with an estimated total funding of $5 million available for approximately 80 awards. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, and interested applicants can reach out to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov for assistance or further information.
Eligible Applicants
*Who May Serve as PI: For fellowships/traineeships, only U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents are eligible to apply for support under this program. NSF funds cannot go to an industry partner; they can only be used by the academic institution. The industry partner is expected to participate in the research effort to facilitate in the commercialization of the research.
