NSF names consortium partners to support X-Labs winners
Overview
The National Science Foundation says charities, companies and investment funds will give X-Labs winners practical support, including laboratory space, software, shared equipment, and access to data and expert guidance.
The NSF calls these organizations "consortium partners" and says they will not receive ownership stakes in X-Labs projects.
Winners, to be announced in November or December, receive $1.5 million for a nine-month planning phase before competing for $50 million multi-year grants. The NSF requires award recipients to eventually show autonomy: project leaders must work on the project full-time and make hiring and spending decisions independently of any university or commercial owner.
