Applications for UGA Faculty Innovation Fellows program due May 20

The Office of Research is now accepting applications for the university’s new Innovation Fellows Program. This program is designed to support faculty who want to engage in commercialization and product development, with an eye toward fine-tuning their research programs to align with industry and market needs. Faculty of all ranks are encouraged to apply.

At the end of the program, Fellows will have a deeper understanding of industry needs as well as the tools to better assess how those needs align with their particular research interests. They also will be strongly connected to the university’s growing innovation ecosystem, including the new Innovation District initiative.

Applications for the fall 2019 Innovation Fellows Program are due Monday, May 20, and instructions can be found online. Appointments will be announced the week of June 3.
