About
The Inspiring the Generation of New Ideas and Translational Excellence at Florida State University (IGNITE-FSU) project is part of the National Science Foundation’s new Accelerating Research Translation program. This transformational initiative serves as a connector and catalyst for the translation of products and services out of the research community in Tallahassee and ensure maximal impact on the Florida economy and beyond.
IGNITE-FSU builds capacity for translational research through additional staff, supportive programs, and mutually beneficial partnerships, all geared to identify, mature, harvest, and translate ideas into impact. This provides the spark needed to ignite a thriving innovation ecosystem that benefits the entire North Florida regional economy by developing and translating tangible solutions to societal challenges.

Translational Research Projects
Seed Translational Research Projects (STRPs) represent a unique opportunity for university research to address real-world challenges. STRPs empower FSU faculty to undertake short-term, targeted projects designed to advance research toward practical application. IGNITE-FSU has awarded eight translational research projects by providing funding and commercialization support.

Accelerating Research Translation
The National Science Foundation, through the “Accelerating Research Translation” (ART) program, seeks to increase the scale and pace of advancing discoveries made while conducting academic research into tangible solutions that benefit the public. The primary objectives of he ART program are to strengthen the capacity and infrastructure for translational research at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) and to elevate their contributions to regional innovation ecosystems.
