Summary

NSF Technology Research Institutes Act This bill authorizes the National Science Foundation (NSF) to awards grants and cooperative agreements to institutions of higher education, or consortia thereof, for the planning, establishment, and support of Technology Research Institutes in key technology areas, as determined by the NSF. Funds awarded may be used by an institute to, among other things conduct fundamental research to advance innovation in a key technology area; conduct research involving a key technology area to solve challenges with social, economic, health, scientific, and national security implications; and further the development, adoption, and commercialization of innovations in key technology areas.
