The EBI-2 program at UC Davis was invited to apply for, and was successfully awarded, an NSF grant supplement to organize the PFI:AIR-RA Grantees Workshop. The event took place in Arlington, VA, on January 6-7, 2015, followed immediately after by the NSF I/UCRC Directors Meeting.
Having granted 25 awards under the Accelerating Innovation Research - Research Alliances (AIR-RA) and Partnerships for Innovation: Accelerating Innovation Research - Research Alliances (PFI:AIR-RA) grant programs, NSF was interested to gather all grantees for a workshop. The objectives of the PFI:AIR-RA Grantees Workshop were: - To offer the first opportunity since the program's inception to gather the grantees together and share lessons learned, challenges overcome, and successes achieved.
- To afford NSF the opportunity to brief and get feedback from the grantees on program-related issues and information, including suggestions for improvements.
- To discuss the development and sustainability of an academic based innovation ecosystem catalyzed with PFI:AIR-RA funding, including funding models and future opportunities.
