The Johnson Center for Innovation and Translational Research has awarded more than $160,000 in grants to seven researchers at Indiana University Bloomington through the Translational Research Pilot Grant program. The researchers are from the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Education and School of Informatics and Computing.
Launched in 2015, the Translational Research Pilot Grant program funds the completion of proof-of-concept projects that will support the development of translational research projects with industry partners and the establishment of new companies or strengthen patent applications based on IU Bloomington discoveries.
Johnson Center Director Keith R. Davis said the program has grown in its second year.
“The number of projects that received funding increased significantly this year, and we are encouraged by the growth of the program and the fact that we have identified and addressed an unmet need at IU Bloomington,” Davis said. “These exceptional researchers are devising solutions that address important challenges that face our country and world.”
