CREATE Translation Grants are awarded to fund new pilot initiatives, demonstration projects, or social ventures that lead to the translation of research products into deployable usable technologies or technology artifacts in real use. The initiative is aimed at focusing on quality of life issues for individuals with disabilities, including addressing high unemployment and underemployment rates, lack of access to education, or community engagement opportunities. Translation grants are not intended to fund research project expansions or bring proven projects to new communities, unless there is a significant scale, scope, or replicable component.
Please Note: The CREATE Translation Grants do not fund any purely research-based project nor any education or training projects without a significant deployment component. For more details, see https://create.uw.edu/translation-minigrant-program/
