The U.S. National Science Foundation is investing $20 million in a two-year pilot led by UCF’s National Commercialization and Translation Institute to help NSF-funded small businesses overcome the “valley of death” and move late-stage deep technologies toward commercial success. The pilot will also evaluate approaches that could inform a scalable, long-term model.
