DESCRIPTION:Application deadline: September 13\, 2026 @ 11:59 PM ET\, with 
 project start date of October1\, 2026.聽\n\nApplication process & details a
 vailable here!\n\nThe TechAccelR program supports eligible 成人VR视频 Universi
 ty Principal Investigators (PI) and their team by enabling them to acceler
 ate their research-based ideas with commercial potential that are reported
  as inventions but need further validation as part of the commercializatio
 n plan. The program is offered biannually (spring and fall) and includes g
 rants that can go up to $15\,000 within 6-month program period per inventi
 on/technology\, along with personalized business mentorship. For 2026\, th
 e budget will allow for up to 10 projects per round to be selected. Fundin
 g of the TechAccelR proposals is at the sole discretion of the 成人VR视频 Engi
 ne team. We will look at the comparative merit of the application pool and
  the project criteria.\n\nThe TechAccelR grants are short-term for project
 s that can be completed within up to 6 months maximum\, and that are neede
 d to advance or enhance an invention/technology in order to improve the sc
 ope and value of 成人VR视频鈥檚 IP and enable researchers聽to obtain further fund
 ing for commercialization. The TechAccelR grants are not intended to suppl
 ement existing funded projects. The TechAccelR project proposals are co-wr
 itten with the PI's technology transfer manager\, please consult with them
  at least 2 weeks in advance of the proposal deadline. Some examples of th
 e short-term scope of work goals: improved claims in future patent applica
 tions\, new uses/applications of existing technologies\, gathering additio
 nal data to further demonstrate proof of concept (e.g. increased robustnes
 s/reliability of AI/ML models)\, obtaining data to compare/benchmark the t
 echnology to existing technologies to show its competitive advantages.\n\n
 In addition to funding\, teams are matched with a聽Ronald Chwang Entreprene
 ur-in-Residence聽to help advance their technology commercialization plan an
 d provide industry connections.\n\nProgram Objectives\n\n\n	Validate early 
 stage technologies\n	Advance the invention's聽Technology Readiness Level聽fro
 m TRL 3 to聽higher\n	Accelerate the technology鈥檚 commercialization and devel
 opment plan - achieve problem-solution fit faster\n	Further develop the res
 earch to strengthen eligibility for additional funding\n	Research team work
 s聽closely with the assigned business mentor\, gaining from their experienc
 e\, knowledge\, and industry connections\n\n
