This opportunity aims to enable currently supported NSF Engineering Research Centers (ERC) that are in the Classes of 2003-2008 and recently graduated, self-sustaining ERCs to benefit from the role of small firms in carrying out research to speed the translation of research results into commercial products and for small businesses to benefit from the innovative and leading-edge research performed at Engineering Research Centers (ERCs). These centers have pushed the boundaries of knowledge across a broad spectrum of technology fields while transferring a continuous stream of cutting-edge enabling and systems technologies to the market place through their industrial partners and spin-off start-up firms. Proposals are invited from the institutions with the 13 ongoing ERCs and the 22 recently graduated, self-sustaining ERCs in the Class of 1990 or later to perform collaborative research with ongoing and graduated SBIR/STTR Phase I and Phase II awardees funded by any agency and other small R&D firms. Proposals may also be submitted by NSF supported ongoing and graduated SBIR/STTR Phase II awardees who will collaborate with an ongoing or recently graduated, self-sustaining ERC for the purposes outlined in the solicitation. A self-sustaining graduated Engineering Research Center (ERC), for the purpose of this solicitation, is one that is defined as an ERC in the class of 1990 or later that is financially self-sustaining and retains ERC key features. Self-sufficiency was determined through a survey of graduated ERCs. This would include any ERC from earlier classes that was reestablished for a new term of NSF support through an ERC competition. The results of that survey, "Post Graduation Status of Engineering Research Centers - 2010," can be found at: http://www.erc-assoc.org/topics/6-nsf-policies.html. A list of currently NSF supported and self-sustaining graduated ERCs eligible to compete can be found in the Appendix. The goals of this effort are to: Speed the translation of ERC-generated research and technology advances to the marketplace and engage students more directly in the innovation process though collaboration between an ERC and a small R&D firm, andStrengthen the research capacity of the small R&D firm or SBIR/STTR awardee to speed the entry of its innovation into the marketplace and broaden its portfolio of marketable products through collaboration with an ERC. The result will be the creation of a mutually beneficial research and commercialization platform that joins ERCs and small R&D firms or SBIR/STTR companies. This platform will establish a partnership upon which the ERC and the firm can collaborate in the future and ERC students can learn about the innovation process.

The Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) program aims to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. Many NSF-funded projects result in publicly accessible, modifiable, and distributable open-source products, including software, hardware, models, specifications, programming languages, or data platforms that catalyze further innovation. In some cases, an open-source product that shows potential for wide adoption forms the basis for a self-sustaining open-source ecosystem (OSE) that comprises a leadership team; a managing organization with a well-defined governance structure and distributed development model; a cohesive community of external intellectual content developers; and a broad base of users across academia, industry, and/or government. The overarching vision of POSE is that proactive and intentional formation of managing organizations will ensure adoption of open-source products; increased coordination of external intellectual content developer contributions; and a more focused route to technologies with broad societal impact. Toward this end, the POSE program supports the formation of new OSE managing organizations based on anexisting open-source product or class of products, whereby each organization is responsible for the creation and management of processes and infrastructure needed for the efficient and secure development and maintenance of an OSE. POSE constitutes a new pathway to translate scientific innovations, akin to the Lab-to-Market Platform that NSF has pioneered over many decades. Whereas programs like theNSF Innovation Corps (NSF I-Corps )andAmerica s Seed Fund[Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)]represent an integrated set of programs to provide researchers with the capacity to transform their fundamental research into deep technology ventures, POSE is specifically focused on another translational pathway supporting the transition from open-source research artifacts to OSEs. Importantly, the POSE program isnotintended to fund thedevelopmentof open-source products, including tools and artifacts. The POSE program is alsonotintended to fund existing well-resourced, open-source communities or ecosystems. Instead, the program aims to supportnewmanaging organizations to catalyze distributed, community-driven development and growth ofnewOSEs. The expected outcomes of the POSE program are to grow the community of researchers and innovators who develop and contribute to OSE efforts, and to enable pathways for the safe and secure development of OSEs that have broad societal impacts. OSEs can emerge from any areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) research and development. This solicitation seeks two types of proposals, allowing teams to propose specific activities toscope and planthe establishment of an OSE (Phase I), and toestablisha sustainable OSE based on a robust open-source product that shows promise in the ability to both meet an emergent societal or national need and build a community to help develop it (Phase II). Phase I: OSE Scoping and Planning Proposals Phase I projects are for open-source research products with a small community of external users though the product may not necessarily have external content developers. The objectives of Phase I projects are to: (1) enable scoping activities that will inform the transition of promising research products that are already available in open-source formats into sustainable and robust OSEs that will have broad societal impacts, and (2) provide training to teams interested in building such an OSE. Phase I awardees are not obligated to submit Phase II proposals in the future. Phase II: Establishment and Expansion Proposals Phase II projects are for open-source research products with small, existing communities of external usersandexternal content developers. The objective of Phase II projects is to support the transition of a promising open-source product into a sustainable and robust OSE. Phase II proposal teams are expected to have already conducted the scoping activities needed to develop a detailed project plan to support the community-driven distributed development and deployment of successful open-source tools into operational environments (not necessarily via a Phase I award). An NSF POSE Phase I award is not required for the submission of a Phase II proposal.
