Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who hold UC principal investigator status are also eligible.
A partnership between CITRIS and the Banatao Institute and the Academic Innovation Catalyst (AIC), the program aims to transform faculty research into viable commercial solutions for society’s most pressing challenges.
All areas of relevance to CITRIS’s mission will be considered, with advanced aviation, aerospace, AI for good, climate resilience and other deep tech applications of special interest in this first year.
Three awards worth up to $200,000 over two years are available.
