The Grant Opportunities for
Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) is a program of the
National Science Foundation that connects universities and
industry for their mutual benefit, and enables doctoral
students to gain firsthand knowledge of the culture and
opportunities present beyond academia. "In the long term,"
says Michael Roco, NSF's GOALI coordinator, "this research
will create new technologies for broader and more efficient
use of various resources." The Directorate for Engineering
began awarding GOALI grants in 1994, funding 40 proposals
for a total of $4 million. In 1995, the three directorates
awarded $12 million for 90 new projects. Bob Grafton,
Program Director of CISE Design Automation, reviewed several
GOALI proposals. "GOALI gives people a way to test their
ideas in real-world situations," he says.
