Trask Innovation Fund accepting applications from researchers, innovators seeking to advance Purdue intellectual property
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University inventors who are prepared to move their innovations to market have until Feb. 19 to apply for funding through the Trask Innovation Fund.
The fund is designed to advance the commercial potential of Purdue intellectual property through short-term research projects.
Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the Purdue Research FoundationOffice of Technology Commercialization based on criteria including significance of the invention, stage of development, commercialization potential, path to commercialization, intellectual property landscape and the applicant’s commitment to commercialization.
There are three Trask Innovation Fund tracks:
WEST LAFAYETTE â A partnership between Purdue University and some top law enforcement agencies in South Korea is leading to lasting changes for the handling of domestic violence calls in South Korea. It also has led to a top honor for a law enforcement leader.
Eric Dietz, a professor of computer and information technology in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, began the partnership when he was working to create opportunities for graduate students to study law enforcement policies in South Korea.
The superintendent of South Korean police, Hyun Gun Song, came to Greater Lafayette last year to research the local law enforcement response to domestic violence. He rode along with officers and deputies to see how they respond to domestic violence and other calls.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - How can you improve the cutting of gummy metals? Purdue University innovators have come up with an answer - and their findings may help in manufacturing products and reducing component failures.
The researchers previously showed that the application of a permanent marker or Sharpie, glue or adhesive film made it easier to cut metals such as aluminum, stainless steels, nickel, copper and tantalum for industrial applications. Marking the metal surface to be machined with ink or an adhesive dramatically reduced the force of cutting, leaving a clean cut in seconds. Now, they have discovered how these films produce the effect.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Technology similar to massive search engines used to scour the web may soon be used to provide new insights into consumer behavior and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on economies across the world. The technology also may be a useful tool for reducing misinformation in news media.
Purdue University innovators have created several patented technologies that they combined into a computer system to acquire and analyze real-time visual data from millions of globally distributed network cameras. The innovators define network cameras as those connected to the Internet and continuously capturing data.
