  1. Introduction • Breadth • How it Works • The Next Steps

  2. Introduction • Builds industry-university research partnerships • Leverages R&D investments: • Access to UC scientists, students (10 campuses, 3 National Labs, Agriculture Experiment Station) • Research conducted in UC facilities • State matching funds ($1:$1) • Intellectual property rights (exclusive licenses) • Rapid turnaround (100 days) • State/federal tax credits • Fuels discovery, Accelerates innovation • Strengthens commercial competitiveness

  3. Breadth • Funded Areas • Biotechnology • Communications and networking • Electronics manufacturing and new materials • Information technology for life sciences • Digital media • Pilot Project • Energy and Environment • Health and Wellness • Rapid Application of Nanotechnologies

  4. Two funding mechanisms Individual Research Grants One or a few investigatorsOne or a few companiesIn-kind Limit: 30% Major Program Grants Multiple investigators Two or more campuses/Labs Strong educational program In-kind Limit: 40%

  5. Proposals of Interest • Highly innovative, risk taking, likely to provide high impact and benefits • New and novel opportunities that may be uniquely addressed by converging talent and resources across the Program’s five sector fields • Opportunities to engage young faculty • Unique educational opportunities for students

  6. How it Works • UC scientists and industry partners collaborate to identify basic research goals and develop a focused proposal. (October, January, May deadlines) • Industry partners provide some money; UC and the State of California provide matching funds. • Our rigorous peer review of proposals ensures high quality research plans and reasonable budgets. • Grant request to inception is just 100 days. • Research projects range from: 1-4 years $50K-$5 million (joint)

  7. The Next Steps • Visit www.ucdiscoverygrant.org for more information, or call 510.643.3229 to talk to someone in your field. • Participate in events and meet UC researchers with relevant interests. • Our website lists upcoming events • Develop and submit grant proposals using our online system. (October, January, May deadlines) • Suggest topics for future events and consider co-hosting events with us.
