Attracting the World's Best and Brightest

These policies comprise a set of laws authorizing employment for spouses of certain high-skill workers on H-1B visas, likewise enhancing opportunities for outstanding professors and researchers. Entrepreneurship Pathways, an online resource center, was also launched to provide immigrant entrepreneurs an immediate way to search opportunities to start and grow a business in the U.S





Accelerating Biomedical Entrepreneurs from Lab to Marke



The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are launching a partnership to equip entrepreneurial scientists and to focus on the crucial gap between fundamental research and the growth of a commercial entity. Academic researchers and entrepreneurs who receive Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding from NIH are eligible to conduct a new version of the NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program which is especially tailored for biomedical technologies. NIH will also expand I-Corps by enhancing existing NIH-funded programs, like NIH Centers for Accelerated Innovation (NCAI) which concentrate on promising technologies developed by academic researchers. Educators and students who participate in these programs will obtain mentorship opportunities, entrepreneurial training, and reasonable funding to allow them to move their ideas from the lab to the market

U.S. Global Development Lab (The Lab) was launched by USAID to foster entrepreneurs and strengthen entrepreneurial communities. The Lab aspires to empower a global network of individuals to help create, solve and scale innovative solutions to global challenges by application of scientific, business, research and technological expertise.

A new USAID Research and Innovation Fellowships Program will dispatch more than 60 young U.S. experts in science and technology to universities, NGOs, and companies in 12 developing countries this year
