Ignite Innovation Acceleration is a gap funding program and one of the four signature programs of Ignite: Cornell Research Lab to Market gap funding series. The program aims to advance Cornell University research innovations to the next inflection point (technical or commercial validation) towards commercialization.
Awarded projects will receive up to $50,000. The funding is provided in form of grants to labs to advance inventions toward licensing, startup formation, or industry partnerships.
Project applications are submitted by Cornell University research labs based on disclosed, active CTL inventions from Ithaca, Geneva, or Cornell Tech campuses.
Applications are being accepted beginning March 20 through April 21, 2023.
