SYNOPSIS: The New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) is interested in establishing one or more Proof-of-Concept Centers (POCC) in New York State. The POCC Initiative is built on the understanding that scalable startup companies are engines of both technology commercialization and economic growth; universities in New York are conducting a significant amount of energy-related R&D; the transition of the R&D to scalable business startups happens infrequently; changes in university-ecosystem engagement can increase the rate of startup formation and the likelihood of startup success; and, there is a key gap at the “Proof-of-Concept” stage of product development. The goal of the program is to provide early-stage investments and services to enable the development and validation of promising clean energy technologies that are, or will become, the platform for start-up companies located in New York State. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 01839 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 6/6/2012 Sponsor: Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Title: Research and Education Grants Contact: Tel: 435-797-2257 Email: wsare@usu.edu Website:          http://www.westernsare.org/Grants/Types-of-Grants Full Program:          https://wsaregrants.usu.edu/grants/docs/CFP_PRE.pdf SYNOPSIS: The sponsor promotes good stewardship of the nation’s natural resources, protects the health and safety of persons involved in the food/farm system, enhances the quality of life of farmers/ranchers and society as a whole, promotes crop, livestock and enterprise diversification and well-being of animals; and strengthens rural communities by creating economic conditions that foster locally owned business and employment opportunities. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 23615 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 6/10/2012 Sponsor: Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Title: Green Talents Competition Contact: Dr. Anne Sperschneider Tel: +49 228 3821-493 Email: greentalents@dlr.de Website:          http://www.bmbf.de/en/ Full Program:          http://www.greentalents.de/890.php SYNOPSIS: The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) invites young researchers from all over the world to take part in "Green Talents - The International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development".
