WEST LAFAYETTE â The Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization has awarded more than $130,000 to four projects led by researchers in Purdue Universityâs College of Engineering and its College of Science, and Purdue University Northwestâs College of Engineering and Sciences.
The Trask Innovation Fund supports short-term projects that enhance the commercial value of Purdueâs intellectual property.
Brooke Beier, vice president of the Office of Technology Commercialization, explained how the Trask Innovation Fund complements activity done by OTC personnel.
âResearchers at Purdue University campuses disclose their innovative work to OTC throughout the year. Sometimes it needs support to move from concept or even a first prototype to a more mature, proven innovation,â Beier said. âTaking that step strengthens OTCâs ability to apply for IP protection, market and even license innovations so they can r
