KCV EDGE builds on the Kentucky Science & Technology Corporation’s centralized technology transfer mechanism for Kentucky’s public colleges and universities and leverages partnerships such as the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development to build competitiveness and capacity in regional institutions for securing and managing research grants. The innovative KCV EDGE model of shared, scaled services acts as a cost-effective, operational, and inclusive growth mechanism for partner institutions by providing lean, targeted approaches to commercialization, funding, and partnership opportunities. KCV EDGE will revolutionize the ability for regional, rural, minority-serving, and technical institutions of higher learning to achieve success in gaining and administering research funding by providing coordinated, holistic support for grant proposal writing, administration/compliance, technology commercialization, and leadership development. The program is designed to be a catalyst for national transformation. Specifically, it aims to dismantle barriers for emerging research institutions by staffing participating institutions to support expanding efforts in research enterprise, establishing reporting systems to assess project impacts, evaluating research challenges and successes, and creating and implementing an accelerator model for research commercialization and grant administration. KCV EDGE will contribute to the competitiveness of Kentucky as a center for research while creating high-quality jobs in the region. Impact will be realized in regional, rural, minority-serving, and technical institutions of higher learning communities, enhancing the research landscape for developing research institutions across the country and building communities of success for future generations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

KCV Edge建立在肯塔基州科学技术公司为肯塔基州的公立大学和大学的集中技术转移机制上，并利用了诸如肯塔基州内阁等合作伙伴关系，用于经济发展，以在确保和管理研究范围内建立区域机构的竞争能力和能力。共享，扩展服务的创新KCV边缘模型通过提供精益，有针对性的商业化，资金和合作伙伴机会的方法，是合作伙伴机构的成本效益，运营和包容性增长机制。 KCV Edge将彻底改变区域，农村，少数族裔和技术机构的高等教育能力，以通过为赠款提案写作，管理/合规，技术商业化和领导力发展提供协调的整体支持，从而在获得和管理研究资金方面取得成功。该计划旨在成为国家转型的催化剂。具体而言，它的目的是通过人员配备参与机构来支持扩大研究企业的努力，建立报告系统来评估项目影响，评估研究挑战和成功，以及创建和实施研究商业化和赠款的加速器模型，从而消除新兴研究机构的障碍。 KCV Edge将有助于肯塔基州作为研究中心的竞争力，同时在该地区创造高质量的就业机会。影响力将在高等学习社区的区域，粗糙，少数族裔和技术机构中实现，增强了全国各地发展研究机构的研究格局，并为后代建立成功的社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估基金会的智力功能和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
