FY22 RIF Phase I and Phase II Proposals
EDIR is now accepting applications for FY22 Regents Innovation Fund (RIF) Phase I and Phase II proposals. The funds are to support the development of Iowa State University innovations with commercial potential and to help more Iowa State technology reach the marketplace as the foundation for new Iowa companies and/or the growth of existing Iowa companies.
The funding is intended to support a wide-range of stages in technology development, from the initial research concept (prior to intellectual property disclosure), to proof of concept, to licensing and commercialization. All proposals should have a clear commercial benefit or potential for the state of Iowa and must show a clear participation by Iowa industry(s). Interdisciplinary proposals are encouraged.
