The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR), in collaboration with the School of Medicine, is pleased to announce the new UConn SPARK Technology Commercialization Fund, which is an enhanced version of a previous program administered at UConn Health.
The purpose of the UConn SPARK Technology Commercialization Fund is to support innovative proof-of-concept studies that will facilitate the translation of research discoveries into eventual product commercialization. UConn SPARK has $400,000 in available funds, which have been contributed by the OVPR and the School of Medicine.
All UConn and UConn Health investigators are eligible to apply for grants of up to $50,000 to support one-year projects. Click here for a detailed program description. http://research.uchc.edu/technology-commercialization/spark/
Proposals will be due by 5:00 PM on February 19, 2016 via email to spark@uchc.edu.
