NSF Topics

Following each deep dive session, Minnesota applicants are invited to submit a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Pitch. Firms who submit a Project Pitch will know in about one month if they meet the program’s objectives to support innovative technologies that show promise of commercial and/or societal impact and involve a level of technical risk. If your Project Pitch is a good fit for the program, you will receive an official invitation from NSF to submit a full proposal. If you’re not invited to submit, you’ll be told why your project is not appropriate for the program.
