Description

Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) promotes university-industry partnerships by making project funds or fellowships/traineeships available to support an eclectic mix of industry-university linkages. Special interest is focused on affording the opportunity for:

Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students to conduct research and gain experience in an industrial setting;
Industrial scientists and engineers to bring industry's perspective and integrative skills to academe; and
Interdisciplinary university-industry teams to conduct research projects.

...

This solicitation targets high-risk/high-gain research with a focus on fundamental research, new approaches to solving generic problems, development of innovative collaborative industry-university educational programs, and direct transfer of new knowledge between academe and industry. GOALI seeks to fund transformative research that lies beyond that which industry would normally fund.
