Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI)

Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) promotes university-industry partnerships by making project funds or fellowships/traineeships available to support an eclectic mix of industry-university linkages. Special interest is focused on affording the opportunity for:
o Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students to conduct research and gain experience in an industrial setting;
o Industrial scientists and engineers to bring industry's perspective and integrative skills to academe; and
o Interdisciplinary university-industry teams to conduct inforesearch projects.

This solicitation targets high-risk/high-gain research with a focus on fundamental research, new approaches to solving generic problems, development of innovative collaborative industry-university educational programs, and direct transfer of new knowledge between academe and industry. GOALI seeks to fund transformative research that lies beyond that which industry would normally fund.

Deadline Dates vary by program; Please contact the appropriate disciplinary program office to obtain information about current deadline dates. Full information is on the web at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10580/nsf10580.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click
