The objective of the AIR proposal "Accelerating Deployment of Novel Alleles in Cotton" addresses the next essential steps for the translation of information regarding cotton gene function that is currently being developed under a NSF-PFI alliance into commercial products by identifying and utilizing genotype-specific single nucleotide polymorphism DNA markers ('SNPs') to facilitate the rapid and selective transfer of desirable alleles (traits) into superior cotton cultivars. The outcomes from the proposed work will strengthen the cotton innovation ecosystem, empowering a wide range of new ventures by both large enterprises and smaller enterprises that lack the resources to accomplish such innovation alone.The proposed work will impact the innovation ecosystem for cotton improvement in both short-term and long-term ways, also reducing barriers to entry by smaller enterprises both through technology development and engagement of a potential matching sponsor. The network of partners in the proposed work will be key to sustained transformation of enabling resources into economic benefits. Proposed activities are closely tied to strong training and outreach programs with a successful history of engaging groups under-represented in the sciences, and which benefit from major institutional and state commitments.

AIR提案的目标是“加速棉花中新型等位基因的部署”，通过鉴定和利用基因型特异性单核苷酸多态性DNA标记（“snp”），促进所需等位基因（性状）快速和选择性地转移到优质棉花品种中，解决了目前正在NSF-PFI联盟下开发的棉花基因功能信息转化为商业产品的下一步基本步骤。拟议工作的成果将加强棉花创新生态系统，为缺乏资源独自完成此类创新的大型企业和小型企业提供广泛的新企业。拟议的工作将以短期和长期的方式影响棉花改良的创新生态系统，还将通过技术开发和潜在匹配赞助商的参与降低小型企业的进入壁垒。拟议工作中的伙伴网络将是将使能资源持续转化为经济利益的关键。拟议的活动与强有力的培训和推广计划密切相关，这些计划在吸引科学领域代表性不足的群体方面具有成功的历史，并受益于主要的机构和国家承诺。
