DESCRIPTION:Application deadline is September 29\, 2024@ 11:59 PM ET\, with
  project start date of November 1\, 2024. \n\nApplication process & detail
 s available here!\n\nTechAccelR Grants support 91Ö±²¥ Faculty o
 f Engineering tenure-track professors by enabling them to accelerate their
  technology that is reported as an invention but needs further validation 
 prior to commercialization. They are offered biannually (spring and fall) 
 and can go up to $15\,000 per invention/technology. For 2024\, the budget 
 will allow for up to 5 projects per round to be selected. Funding of the T
 echAccelR proposals is at the sole discretion of the 91Ö±²¥ Engine team. W
 e will look at the comparative merit of the application pool and the proje
 ct criteria.\n\nThese short-term grants\, co-written with the PI's technol
 ogy transfer manager\, are designed to advance or enhance an invention/tec
 hnology in order to improve the scope and value of 91Ö±²¥â€™s IP and enable 
 researchers to obtain further funding for commercialization. Some examples
 : claims in future patent applications\, new uses/applications of existing
  technologies\, gathering additional data to further demonstrate proof of 
 concept (e.g. increased robustness/reliability of AI/ML models)\, obtainin
 g data to compare the technology to existing technologies to show its comp
 etitive advantages.\n\nProgram Objectives\n\n\n	Validate early stage techno
 logies\n	Advance the invention's Technology Readiness Level\n	Accelerate the
  technology’s commercialization and development plan - achieve product-mar
 ket fit faster\n	Further develop the research to strengthen eligibility for
  additional funding\n	Research team works closely with the assigned busines
 s mentor\, gaining from their experience\, knowledge\, and industry connec
 tions\n\n
