Hi Joel and Deborah,



The UCR Office of Technology Partnerships (OTP) released the call for
applications for our Proof of Concept (POC) program last week for project
funding of up to $50,000. Apologize in advance if you are receiving again,
but we wanted to make sure had received it. Also, if you could share
amongst the members of the Microbiome Initiative and CAFÉ that would be
greatly appreciated. See below and attached for additional information.



Thanks,



*Brian Suh*

Dear UCR Research Community,



The Office of Technology Partnerships is pleased to announce its
solicitation for *Proof of Concept Funds* for the FY 20-21. This is a
special grant available for UCR faculty and research staff who have UCR
owned intellectual property or technology, including inventions and
copyrights, and are interested in its further development and
commercialization.



This year, we will be offering a one-time competitive selected award of up
to $50,000 for up to 5 qualified applicants. Allocation of funds will
depend on achievable milestones proposed. Funding can be used to support
students, postdoctoral researchers, or research scientists to conduct
technical and market validation studies to determine interest from the
private sector to further develop and commercialize the UCR intellectual
property.



To be considered, interested faculty need to submit a *Notice of
Intent* by *11:59
PST, November 22nd, 2020* to Judy Swineford (judy.swineford at ucr.edu).



Applicants may submit a Notice of Intent in any technology or research
area. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, smart agriculture,
smart agriculture, agribusiness, health care, data science,
digitalization/digital transformation, energy, environmental technology,
sustainability, smart mobility, automation, and the creative arts.
Multidisciplinary, multi-PI proposals are especially encouraged.



Eligible projects will be selected to present to an external review panel
of industry executives in early January of 2021.



Please refer to the *attached document* for eligibility, Notice of Intent
submission requirements, review criteria, and due dates.



If you have any questions, please reach out to Rosibel Ochoa (
rosibel.ochoa at ucr.edu*) and Brian Suh (brian.suh at ucr.edu
