Mandate and remit
The UTMB Health Technology Commercialization Program is a seed funding initiative that supports and promotes technology transfer and commercialization of UTMB research discoveries. It awards gap funding to develop commercial applications of UTMB-owned technologies, with a preference for proposals that emphasize market opportunity and a clear commercialization strategy. The program is run as a partnership between UTMB's Chief Research Office and its Office of Innovation and Technology Transfer, with the Office of Sponsored Programs distributing funds. It is open to UTMB employees, students, staff and trainees, requires an invention disclosure on file before the pre-proposal deadline, and runs semiannual fall and spring cycles with competitive renewal for projects showing progress. Special consideration goes to interdisciplinary projects involving students from across UTMB's four schools, and funded technologies are then licensed to industry partners through the technology transfer office.
These routes appear in the program's sourced public record.
