MassCEC and MTTC are pleased to announce an open invitation to apply for these awards.
The deadline for submitting a Statement of Intent is March 14, 2012.
All qualified researchers from Massachusetts research institutions as well as CEOs from early stage companies are welcome to apply. If there are any questions, contact Michele Bernier from the MTTC office at mbernier@umassp.edu or (774) 455-7278.
These awards are intended to support researchers who want to demonstrate the feasibility of their technologies in specific industry applications in order to obtain increased industry and investor interest. Funding could be used to develop a prototype or to gather initial data in order to show proof of concept or to obtain data that shows how the technology compares to existing technologies and what its competitive advantages are. The aim of the funding is not to perfect the technology but to develop the technology to a point where its features can be shown so that additional commercialization funding can be obtained.
