The Research Foundation is pleased to announce that the application period for the SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund Class of 2014 Spring is now OPEN!The SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF) invests in prototyping and validation projects for SUNY technologies with potential to become products or services that will benefit the public. TAF investments are made on a highly competitive basis in projects that advance early-stage SUNY technologies to commercial readiness, especially those opportunities for which a small investment will enable SUNY innovations to reach the market and improve human health and welfare.

Powered by SUNY’s Six Big Ideas and The Research Foundation for SUNY, the Technology Accelerator Fund has invested over $1 million since its launch in April 2011, bringing to life 16 of SUNY’s most promising technologies. To learn about the technologies in which TAF has invested and the people who made it happen, see Technology Accelerator Fund Projects.

Faculty, staff, and students from all disciplines and campuses are encouraged to submit proposals for the SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund Class of 2014 Spring funding. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 27, 2014.  See TAF Application and Administrative Guidelines.
