Dear Colleagues, 
 

Are you looking to translate your lab’s use-inspired research to create major impact?   


Together with our partners at Innovate Carolina (including the Institute for Convergent Science & KickStart Venture Services), the Office of Research Development invites you to join a webinar to learn more about the NSF's new Translation to Practice (TTP) program, which aims to "support use-inspired research, translational activities and partnerships that turn scientific discoveries into real-world solutions." 


This webinar will outline the latest NSF updates, and the Institute for Convergent Science will provide a detailed look at the TTP program's three tracks: TTP-Explore, TTP-Translate and TTP-Partner (with the Translate and Partner Tracks not requiring prior NSF support).  


In addition, KickStart Venture Services will provide an overview of UNC-Chapel Hill’s I-Corps Program, an NSF-sponsored opportunity that empowers researchers to better understand the market potential of their use-inspired research.  


This virtual event will take place on Tuesday, September 9th from 12-1pm ET. 


Warm regards,  

The Office of Research Development
