Basic Research
Basic research
- If the research observed basic scientific principles.
- If the technology development methodology or approach has been developed.
- If the objectives of the researchare clearly stated.
- If the research aims to address or solve a specific problem, gap, or societal / industry issue.
Application Formulated
- If the technology concepts for this research are formulated.
- If preliminary analyses or experiments confirm that the research might meet the user’s needs.
- If there are any Peer-Reviewed Publication(s) concerning the research in high-impact journals.
- If the research team has identified the project’s potential market size.
- If the research team has conducted a feasibility study on the project, it will be submitted.
- If there is a Business Plan
Proof of concept
- If there is any Experimental proof of concept.
- Are there any system performance metrics data?
- If experiments/modelling and simulation validate performance predictions of system capability.
- If the research addresses a need or creates an innovation in
any of NASENI thematic area(s)
Applied Research
Components validated in laboratory environment
- If the technology was validated in the laboratory or simulated with supporting data.
- Were the constituent parts of the system successfully tested in a laboratory?
Laboratory scale, similar system validation in a relevant environment
- If the target and minimum operational requirements have been developed and documented.
- If the component(s) have been verified under conditions that closely resemble the actual environment intended to be operated upon.
Pre-commercial Stage
The prototype was demonstrated in a relevant environment
- If the operational environment (i.e., end user, physical
environment, and input data characteristics, as appropriate) is/are fully known. - If the prototype was tested in a realistic and relevant
environment outside the laboratory. - If the prototype satisfies all operational requirements when confronted with realistic problems
The prototype was demonstrated in an operational environment
- If the technology/system/process has been fully integrated.
- If the prototype was demonstrated in an operational setting (i.e., real-world conditions, including the end user).
- If all interfaces were tested individually under stressed and anomalous conditions.
The actual system was completed and qualified through tests and demonstrations
- If the technology was proven in an operational environment (i.e., meets target performance measures).
- If a rigorous test and evaluation process was completed successfully.
- If the technology meets its stated objective(s) and functionality as designed.
- If the system has undergone safety checks, regulatory standards, and certification processes. (Do you have Value Proposition & IP Identification (copyright license, patent, trademark)?
Market Ready
The actual system operated over the full range of expected conditions
- If the technology were deployed in its intended operational environment.
- If information about the technology were disseminated to the end user.
- If the technology was adopted/accepted by the end user for its objectives.
- Is the technology ready for full commercialization?
