The Case Western Reserve University Technology and Validation Start-Up Fund Program (CTP) recently announced the recipients of its second funding round of 2017.
CTP is awarded by the Ohio Third Frontier and managed through the CWRU Technology Transfer Office. The program aims to accelerate and fund the translation of promising technologies into the marketplace through Ohio-based companies with the eventual goal of creating greater economic growth. The $500,000 fund will help faculty researchers advance and commercialize their innovations. Three rounds of funding are expected in 2017.
The CTP is intended to be the final bridge between a translational research project and a viable commercial program. Funding will support technologies that require validation/proof that will directly impact and enhance commercial viability and the ability to support a start-up company.
The CTP will have one more funding round, with request for proposals to be announced in August 2017. Contact Stephanie Weidenbecher at saw43@case.edu for more information, or visit case.edu/research/faculty-staff/tto/technology-validation-and-start-up-fund/.
