PFI-AIR: CREST-I/UCRC-Industry Ecosystem to Pipeline Research

美国国家科学基金会加速创新研究（AIR）项目将创建一个创新生态系统，致力于数据密集型应用（特别是地理空间数据、健康信息学、大规模计算和纳米技术）突破的开发和技术转移，并将其转化为商业上可行的解决方案。AIR生态系统内的公私伙伴关系将在学术界和产业界之间建立一个网络，包括研究人员、技术人员、创新者、经验丰富的实业家、企业家、创业先锋和各级学生的不同团队。研究人员将获得资源，经验丰富的创业导师和行业顾问，他们将帮助指导他们通过将他们的研究和发现以新的和创新的方式转化为商业化的过程。

This NSF Accelerating Innovation Research (AIR) project will create an innovation ecosystem engaged in the development and technology transfer of breakthroughs in Data Intensive Applications, specifically, geospatial data, health informatics, massive computing, and nanotechnology, into commercially viable solutions.The public-private partnerships within the AIR ecosystem will establish a network between academia and industry, including researchers, technologists, innovators, experienced industrialists, entrepreneurs, start-up pioneers, and diverse teams of students at all levels. Researchers will have access to resources, experienced entrepreneurial mentors and industry advisors who will help guide them through the process of translating their research and discoveries towards commercialization in new and innovative ways.
