You are invited to meet with Lisa Caldwell and Dale Wadman from the Washington Research Foundation (WRF) to learn more about the
WRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
The program, which opens for applications in Spring 2021, provides a $65K-$70K stipend per year, plus benefits and a $5K budget for research supplies, equipment or travel for three-years. The selected fellows can have a background in any STEM field, but preference will be given to applicants whose project proposals are in life sciences and enabling technologies.
WRF’s goal is for the Fellow’s research to benefit the public through the creation of products and services. This is a great program and WRF is eager to see more applications to place highly talented and creative individuals at WSU. The session will be especially relevant to faculty, postdocs and senior-level grad students.

PROSSER, Wash. – A new agricultural innovation from Washington State University may solve an ancient predicament: how to protect crop plants from cold damage at bud break. As spring brings warmer weather, plants wake up from dormancy and begin the processes of growth and flowering. But one cold night can kill those buds before they have a chance to flower and fruit.
What’s needed are tiny baby blankets that shield those emerging buds from frost. And it’s precisely an insulating coating that researchers at Washington State University have developed and are in the process of commercializing.

The Office of Commercialization has awarded 10 Washington State University researchers with the Commercialization Gap Fund (CGF). The CGF supports research projects with high market potential and provides researchers up to $40,000 to booster their ability to make an economic impact on society. The CGF is funded by a generous donation from the Washington Research Foundation with matching funds from the Office of Commercialization.
“The innovations of this year’s awardees demonstrate near market-ready technologies with the potential to improve lives and enhance the economies of the state of Washington, the nation, and the world,” said Sita Pappu, assistant vice president for the Office of Commercialization within the Office of Research. “Funding from the Commercialization Gap Fund will bridge the gap between research in the laboratory and market-ready commercialization.”
