KEYNOTE

Samir Iqbal

Samir Iqbal is Program Director in the NSF SBIR/STTR and the Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) programs. He is also a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), USA. He had appointments in the UTRGV medical school and the UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

Opportunities at NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP)

NSF has established TIP, the agency’s first new directorate in more than three decades, in 2022. The establishment of TIP is a once-in-a-generation opportunity: striving to accelerate the pace of innovation and translation in emerging technologies, addressing the pivotal societal and economic challenges of our time, and engaging the diverse talent that exists in our country. Working collaboratively with the rest of the Foundation, other federal agencies, state, local, and tribal governments, academics, the private sector, nonprofits, civil society and investors, TIP will ensure that the nation remains in the vanguard of competitiveness for decades to come. This talk will provide an overview of ever-expanding opportunities in TIP, especially in the focus area of Translational Impacts (TI) that covers Translational Programs and Startups/Small Businesses.
