Trask Innovation Fund awarded for innovation of device that helps people with visual impairments "see"
The fund is a development program established to support projects that advance the commercial value of Purdue University intellectual property. The fund makes awards twice a year to aid faculty and staff with their patented innovations that are being commercialized through the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization.
Purdue faculty and staff that have submitted a disclosure to OTC can apply for Trask. The deadline for submitting applications for the upcoming round of Trask proposals is Sept. 27.
These innovations align with Purdue's Giant Leaps, celebrating the global advancements made in health, space, artificial intelligence and sustainability highlights as part of Purdue’s 150th anniversary. Those are the four themes of the yearlong celebration’s Ideas Festival, designed to showcase Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.
