Good morning,
The UT Research Foundation is announcing a call for submissions to our annual maturation grant program. We are currently two weeks away from the submission deadline and would love your help sharing the opportunity

The annual maturation program aims to assist researches in advancing new technologies on the path to market by awarding up to $15,000 in direct costs to the highest ranking proposals. The program is open to
researchers, faculty, staff, and students across all University of Tennessee campuses and institutes. Proposals are due to the Campus Research Office
