29 Aug | Advanced Industries Proof of Concept Grant

OEDIT

The Advanced Industries Proof of Concept Grant provides funding to help Colorado research institutions speed up applied research in advanced industries and commercialize products and services with the private sector. Projects must accelerate product or service commercialization through precommercial research and commercialization preparation. Funding cannot be used for basic research. Funding can be used to support these milestones:

• proof of principle
• intellectual property (IP) protection
• prototypes and technical validation
• market assessment
• start-up and corporate formation costs

The technology must impact at least one of these advanced industries:

• advanced manufacturing
• aerospace
• bioscience
• electronics
• energy and natural resources (including cleantech)
• infrastructure engineering
• technology and information

A 1:3 (institution-to-state) match is required. The match must be in cash (faculty time cannot be used).
