have been selected to receive a total of $263,000 in commercialization grants from the Chancellor鈥檚 Gap Fund to accelerate their path from the lab to the market.

The Chancellor鈥檚 Gap Fund was reauthorized in 2021 to provide critical bridge funding for research projects that have demonstrated strong commercialization potential but require key proof of concept experiments or other data or prototypes in order to attract interest from potential investors or industry partners. The fund provides grants ranging from $25,000 to $75,000, based on what is needed to advance the project through a significant milestone.

Expressions of interest for the next funding cycle will be accepted beginning in April.
