NJIT Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (RITE) Ecosystem
TITA Seed Grand Program collaboration with the NSF ART program. Read more.

Technology Innovation Translation Acceleration (TITA)
The NJIT Technology Innovation Translation and Acceleration (TITA) Seed Grant program will enable faculty and students to successfully accelerate the translation of their innovation to enterprise development and business incubation. The TITA seed grant program will foster entrepreneurial pathways from research and innovation to business and value creation with the acquisition of intellectual property, market validation, and engagement of stakeholders towards commercialization.

Collaborative Early Research Translation (CERT) Seed Grants 
To accelerate NJIT’s trajectory towards increased collaborative research and innovation funding for higher faculty and student success, a new strategic initiative, Collaborative Early Research Translation (CERT) Seed Grants has been launched to invest in translational research of high potential impact. These CERT seed grants will initiate early translation of research and innovation, working collaboratively with an external partner, towards developing proof-of-feasibility and potential intellectual property to build a strong foundation to submit competitive proposals for external research translation acceleration funding opportunities. NJIT’s internal seed funding opportunities including FSG, CERT and TITA seed grants are critical components of the strategic Research, Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship (RITE) ecosystem as outlined in the 2030 Strategic Plan. The CERT Seed Grants are partially funded by the NSF Accelerating Research Translation (ART) grant and NJIT Collaborative Research and Innovation Strategic Partnership (CRISP) investment plan through the NJIT Center for Translational Research.
