[bioundgrd] Deshpande Center Grant Round!

[Janice Chang]

>Calling all MIT Innovators!
>
>Do you need resources to further an unproven technology with market 
>potential?  Is your research getting close to the commercialization 
>stage, but you need help getting market input and connections with 
>the business community?
>The Deshpande Center is here to help!  We provide Ignition Grants up 
>to $50K and even larger Innovation Grants to support innovative 
>research at MIT and help enhance its impact.
>
>Wait, but I thought the Deshpande Center Grants were just for Faculty?
>Well, you're right - proposals must be submitted by MIT Faculty. 
>However, we are encouraging students with innovative research ideas 
>to apply if they can find a faculty advisor to serve as the PI.
>
>Who owns the idea?
>Any intellectual property arising from a project supported by 
>Deshpande Center funds is owned by MIT, but may be licensed through 
>the Technology Licensing Office to an inventor wishing to create a 
>startup.
>
>Pre-proposals are due May 8 at 5PM (no exceptions)!
>Funding for this round would begin May 8, 2006. For more 
>information, please see full call for proposals on our website:
