Foundation Funding may sometimes be easier to request, as they have continuous deadlines, prefer concept papers to full proposals and have more informal guidelines. However, receiving foundation funding can be challenging as foundations are much more competitive than federal sponsors and many foundations require universities to cultivate a relationship to compete in this environment. This session will be led by Wendi Nance, who serves as the Director of Development, Foundations and Corporations.

Intellectual Property
This seminar is designed to teach participants what Intellectual Property is and how it is created in the University setting. Participants will gain insights into invention identification and protecting intellectual property and how this is accomplished within Federal and Privately sponsored research guidelines. Participants will learn about the process of transferring technology out of the University and will see success stories of University technologies that have moved out of the lab and into the marketplace. Most importantly, participants will see how this process of commercialization at the University is designed to reinvest in the faculty, their department, their college, and the University. This session will be led by Chad Hardaway, who serves as the Senior Licensing Associate in the Intellectual Property Office.
