Applications for Accelerator Award Being Accepted

Posted: 

The Technology Commercialization Office (TCO) at The Ohio State University is currently accepting applications for their Accelerator Awards through the 22nd of July 2016.

The Accelerator Award is a funding program based upon the idea that a small amount of capital, strategically focused, can make a large difference in advancing a technology along the commercialization pathway. The Accelerator Award is designed to provide funding to further develop and validate promising technologies over a 3- to 6-month timeline. Through this mechanism, the unlicensed inventions may become more marketable to potential licensing and/or business partners.

The program consists of proposal submission, committee review, invitation of finalists to present the proposals, selection of awardees, connection of awardees with external industry experts, final assessment and approval of budgets, release of funding to participating college, and reporting of results at two intervals. Award competitions will be announced up to three times each year.

Awardees receive a maximum of $50,000 per award.
