Grassroot Innovation Mapping Framework — Structured Assessment Portal

About GIM

What is Technology Readiness Level Assessment?

The TRL Assessment for Grassroot Innovation Mapping (GIM) is a systematic framework designed to evaluate the maturity of innovations and research projects across diverse academic and professional clusters.

Structured Evaluation — Measure your innovation from basic research (TRL 1) through to full deployment and commercialization (TRL 9).
Cluster-Specific Forms — Each innovation cluster has a tailored Google Form to capture domain-relevant criteria accurately.
Data-Driven Mapping — Responses feed into a centralized Grassroot Innovation Map for evidence-based policy and resource allocation.
Open Access — Completely free and digital — accessible by researchers, students, and industry practitioners alike.
