NSF’s TIP Directorate announced Tech Labs, a new program to fund full-time, independent research teams outside universities and industry. The goal is to tackle technical bottlenecks that traditional grant cycles and institutional structures struggle with. Teams would receive multi-year, milestone-based funding and autonomy to push early concepts to commercially viable technology.
