<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif;color:#0F4761">The Innovative Technologies for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IT4IR) TRIF portfolio focuses on five 4IR areas: 1) Internet of Things, 2) Data Sciences, 3)
Cyber-Physical Systems, 4) Advanced Manufacturing, and 5) Artificial Intelligence. The current program is called “Eighteenth Mile” and can be found on the Arizona Cultivate site here:
<a href="https://arizona.infoready4.com/#competitionDetail/1936034">https://arizona.infoready4.com/#competitionDetail/1936034</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif;color:#0F4761">The intent of the program is to fund up to $200K for developed proposal concepts that have previously been submitted to an outside entity (preferably federal)
but not selected for award. It is expected that the infusion of TRIF funds over a relatively short period of time (within the fiscal year of the award) will increase the competitiveness of the grant upon resubmission or new submission to another sponsor.
Proposals from across the entire university are welcomed, and projects that provide paid (by the TRIF funds) research opportunities for undergraduate students are especially encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
