In order to transition their research, Principal Investigators are expected to actively explore transition opportunities and pursue follow-on funding from stakeholders and industrial partners during the course of the award. An Applicant&#8217;s Workshop will be held on Wednesday April 4, 2018 from 12:30-3:00 ET (https://ac.arc.nasa.gov/ppbriefing/ and sign in as a &#8220;Guest&#8221; using your full name).
