Funding Opportunities

Early-Stage Innovation Fund

The Florida High Tech Corridor and USF Research & Innovation are launching a new pilot program, The Corridor Early-Stage Innovation Fund.


This program will support early-stage innovations and applied research with significant commercial potential. These funds are meant to seed faculty-developed technologies that could lead to industry investment, start-up creation, and/or licensing opportunities. USF faculty or faculty teams may request up to $25,000 to support USF research expenses associated with the further development of the target innovation. Initial funding has been provided to support two pilot rounds of this program with three awards anticipated in each round for a total of six awards.
