The U.S. National Science Foundation invites you to join an NSF Tech Labs introductory webinar to learn more about this new initiative.
NSF Tech Labs is designed to launch and scale a new generation of independent research organizations that address technical challenges and bottlenecks traditional university and industry labs cannot easily solve. These full-time teams of researchers, scientists and engineers will have operational autonomy and milestone-based funding to pursue breakthroughs that could reshape entire technology sectors. With sufficient resources and independence, Tech Labs teams will transition critical technologies from early concepts to commercially viable platforms ready for private investment. NSF anticipates significant investment in Fiscal Year 2026 with large, multi-year awards for selected teams.
During the webinar, there will be a brief presentation followed by time for questions.
