J-WAFS Solutions Grant (Annual) | Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab (J-WAFS) Since 2015, the J-WAFS Solutions grant program has provided funding and facilitated mentor relationships with industry leaders in order to help MIT researchers commercialize breakthrough technologies and inventions.
The mission of J-WAFS Solutions is to transform promising ideas from the labs at MIT into innovative products and cutting-edge spinout companies. The hope is that novel technologies can enter into the commercial world where they will improve the productivity, accessibility, and sustainability of the world's water and food systems, creating related economic and societal benefits.
The J-WAFS Solutions program is part of a research partnership with Community Jameel , an international organization that advances science and learning for communities to thrive. One-year grants of up to $150,000 are awarded to up to three MIT research projects per year.
Eligibility: J-WAFS Solutions grants are awarded to MIT principal investigators with projects that are aligned with the J-WAFS mission of securing water and food systems for human need. Adjacent themes in energy, AI, plant health (food crops) and animal health (livestock) will also be considered.
Research should be aimed at conceptualizing and developing products and services that will have a significant impact on water, food, or energy sustainability and security, with related economic and societal benefits. Special consideration will be given to projects that also incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Concepts proposed for J-WAFS Solutions grants should already have completed basic research. Applicants should be interested in commercializing the technology and the technology should be 1-3 years from commercialization. J-WAFS Solutions-funded projects have resulted in a variety of spinout companies and open-sourced technologies.
