Innovation isn't easy. Turning a research discovery into tangible technology takes time, resources and dedication.

That's why at NC State, we aim to ensure that some of our best ideas have as much support as possible. And thanks to the Chancellor's Innovation Fund (CIF), six more projects this year will receive seed funding and support from the Office of Research Commercialization.

The CIF, established in 2010, awards up to $50,000 to support short-term, commercially focused research projects. Each year, a select few promising proposals are chosen based on their likelihood of market success as well as their potential societal benefits.
