NCIIA: Sustainable Vision Grants

The NCIIA is pleased to announce our new Sustainable Vision grants program. These exploratory grants will support the creation of new US and international initiatives and will help define transferable and replicable models for effective and sustainable technology entrepreneurship.

Sustainable Vision grants will fund innovative educational programs that move ideas to commercialization for the benefit of the environment and people in need. The grants will support enrichment and deepening of ongoing programs by building and strengthening interpersonal and inter-institutional networks, and creating new initiatives within existing programs.

Our definition of a successful Sustainable Vision grant project:

• Positive economic impact on a targeted population
• Growth that is sustainable through internally generated resources
• Ongoing partnerships capable of bringing about further change
• A documented process that can be replicated in other settings
