Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.


NSF and NobleReach Emerge Partner in New Effort to Catalyze Research and Development in Biotechnology

January 12th, 2023 / in Uncategorized / by Maddy Hunter

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and NobleReach Emerge are teaming up to push forward biotechnology development and translation. Biotechnology is a growing market that has enormous potential to benefit society. This $5 million partnership seeks to translate NSF-funded research into marketable bio-inspired designs that will have breakthrough commercial and societal impacts.

NobleReach Emerge is a nonprofit that seeks to identify emerging technologies, and bridge ideas into action. NobleReach Emerge has experienced advisors that assess potential paths to product development and a research teams’ business fundamentals.

“We want to ensure that all investigators with interest and whose science has commercial potential can make it through the lab-to-market pipeline. This new partnership will give those scientists the skills they need to bring their research to the market, link them up with early-stage capital, and help them progress at speed and scale to products that address pressing societal challenges.” – Simon Malcomber, acting assistant director for Biological Sciences at NSF.

NSF will identify research projects with the greatest potential for commercial applications and connect them with NobleReach Emerge. NobleReach Emerge will then use their expertise and resources to help the research team prepare their research for the market.

“We established Emerge with the goal of supporting U.S. research to rapidly underpin and sustain the next generation economy,” said Simon Davidson, President of NobleReach Emerge.
