Albany, NY – State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. today announced $425,000 in seed funding through the Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF) has been distributed to seven SUNY campuses. The grants will fund groundbreaking research opportunities around technologies aiming to treat serious illnesses, safeguard the environment, and strengthen New York’s high-tech electronics industry.
SUNY TAF helps faculty inventors and scientists turn their research into market-ready technologies, targeting critical research—such as feasibility studies, prototyping, and testing—which demonstrate that an idea or innovation has commercial potential. The goal is to increase attractiveness to potential investors. TAF funding is awarded through a competitive process that weighs several factors, including the availability of intellectual property protection, marketability, commercial potential, feasibility, and breadth of impact.
“SUNY faculty are leading the way in cutting-edge research in areas from health to sustainability, and we are proud to facilitate the translation of research at SUNY campuses into real-life solutions scaled to help communities across New York State and our nation,” said SUNY Chancellor King. “We commend the work of our SUNY researchers, especially those awarded TAF grants this year.”
