The Innovation Catalyst Fund, which will begin accepting applications on Oct. 1, provides translational research support for Vanderbilt innovations that require proof of concept to attain commercial relevance; nascent projects that have strong innovation potential; and research projects with civic and social relevance.
All full-time faculty employed by either Vanderbilt University or Vanderbilt University Medical Center are eligible to apply across all disciplines. Part-time faculty, students or staff are not eligible.
