The Technology Maturation Award (TMA) offers the opportunity to increase the marketability of technologies already marketed by the George Washington University (GW) Technology Commercialization Office (TCO) for their promising commercial potential and societal impact.
TMA supports commercial potential demonstration projects for academic research outputs in any science and engineering discipline. This demonstration is achieved through proof-of-concept, prototyping, technology development, and/or scale-up work.
TCO may fund up to four (4) awards and projects may receive up to $50,000 for a term of 6-12 months per award. We accept rolling submissions through March 1, 2024.
Proposals may only be submitted by GW faculty inventors with a GW-owned invention available for licensing. If you have a new idea, disclose it to TCO before applying for this award.
