Technology Seed Fund
This new competitive awards program advances the development of novel applied technologies that have near-term potential for licensing and commercialization. These funds will support the Imagining and Incubating stages in the Third Frontier Technology Commercialization Framework. The subject of the proposed projects should be allied to technology focus areas included in the Third Frontier Program or focus areas of the University System of Ohio Centers of Excellence at Ohio University: Scripps College of Communication; Energy and the Environment; and Health and Wellness.
Technology Gap Fund
This competitive awards program advances the development of novel applied technologies that have near-term potential for licensing and commercialization. The Technology Gap Fund is not intended to support basic research, but rather it will support activities to advance technologies through the development of prototypes or through final proof of concept that have already demonstrated potential commercial appeal and for which the university has applied for IP protection (at least a provisional patent); or to expand research on promising new technologies, at the disclosure stage, for which a patent application has not been fully developed but that has short-term commercial potential.
