This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) project grant will fund researchers at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (UTK) to establish the Tennessee Longitudinal Survey of Ideas (TLSI). The $299,058 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will enable the UTK team to survey Tennessee innovators to gather insights on the timeline of innovation and the effects of public-private investments. The TLSI will collect data from over 3,300 startups in the Launch Tennessee network and other Tennessee businesses, tracking the progress of new ideas through various phases of innovation. This quantitative data will be supplemented by qualitative interviews and case studies evaluating Launch Tennessee's public-private model of startup support. The resulting insights are intended to inform the NSF's broader Regional Innovation Engines initiative and complement ongoing Team TN research on innovation in areas like transportation, manufacturing, and biotech.
