OTCV Technology Development Fund 2018

The 15th annual solicitation for the OTCV Technology Development Fund is now open for applications, proposals due December 4, 2017. The purpose of the Fund is to assist faculty and the OTCV offices with the commercial development of important technologies discovered on our campuses. The Fund was initially created as part of the University's science and technology activities and as part of OTCV's desire to increase licensing income, startups, and entrepreneurism at UMass.

To date, the OTCV Technology Development Fund has funded some 108 projects with excellent results. Our grants for FY18 awards will be $25,000 per project for direct project expense. We expect to fund 8 projects.
