Innovation Partnerships has announced the funding of six new Postdoctoral Commercialization Fellowships, based on the strong commercialization potential of the recipients’ doctoral research.
The fellows will be supported by the Michigan Economic Development Corp.’s Tech Transfer Talent Network, along with the U.S. Economic Development Association Global Epicenter for Mobility program and the Build Back Better Regional Challenge.
The new fellows are:

Their time in the fellowship program will provide them the opportunity to further develop their innovations into marketable products and services. Each postdoctoral researcher will receive up to $50,000 to further advance their research, including funding from T3N or EDA GEM and matching contributions from the university.
In addition to their funding, fellows will also receive support from a Mentor-in-Residence provided by the Tech Transfer Talent Network and the Global Epicenter for Mobility program.
