UTRF opens fund to develop technologies

The UT Research Foundation has established a fund to support UT-related developing technologies that have a substantial commercial potential.

The 2008 Technology Funding Program has available a small number of investments between $5,000 and $15,000 to help UT researchers to provide new data or to demonstrate the commercial readiness of a new technology. The program is open to faculty, staff, and students at any UT campus or institute.

Proposals must be submitted by 15 Dec 2007 electronically at utrf@tennessee.edu. The Knoxville contact is John Hopkins (jhop@utk.edu, 974-1882).
