[Faculty] Call for Applications- Proof of Concept Grants Summer 2022

[rosibel.ochoa at ucr.edu]

Dear UCR Research Community,



​The Office of Technology Partnerships is pleased to announce an off-cycle solicitation for Proof-of-Concept Funds for Summer 2022-2023. This is a special grant available for UCR faculty and research staff who have UCR owned intellectual property or technology, including inventions and copyrights, and are interested in transfer and commercialization of your UCR technology.



​This cycle, we will be offering a one-time competitively selected award of up to $50,000 for up to 5 qualified applicants. Allocation of funds will depend on achievable milestones proposed. If awarded, grant recipients must participate in the UCR INNOVAR I-Corps program<https://techpartnerships.ucr.edu/programs-services/entrepreneurship-support-epic/national-science-foundation-i-corps-program> during the course of the award. Funding can be used to support students, postdoctoral researchers, or research scientists to conduct technical and market validation studies to determine interest from the private sector to further develop and commercialize the UCR intellectual property.



To be considered, interested applicants need to submit a Notice of Intent by 11:59 PM PST, on Sunday, August 28th, 2022. Please send your submission to (judy.swineford at ucr.edu<mailto:judy.swineford at ucr.edu>).



Eligible projects will be selected to present to an external review panel in early October of 2022.



Please refer to the attached document for eligibility, Notice of Intent submission requirements, review criteria, and due dates.



If you have any questions, please reach out to Brian Suh (brian.suh at ucr.edu<mailto:brian.suh at ucr.edu>).



Best regards,

Rosibel
