Proposals that do not align with these areas will not be considered at this time.

This program supports early-stage innovations and applied research with significant potential for commercial or community impact. These funds are meant to seed faculty-developed innovations that could lead to industry investment, community engagement, start-up creation, and/or licensing opportunities. USF research teams may request up to $25,000 to support USF research expenses associated with the further development of the target innovation.
