Deadline Wednesday for faculty commercialization award nominations
October 9, 2015
Purdue is soliciting nominations through Wednesday (Oct. 14) for the annual Outstanding Commercialization Award for Purdue University Faculty. Funded by the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP), the award involves a cash prize of $5,000 as well as official recognition at a major campus event and at the Inventors Recognition Reception.
The award is offered in recognition of Purdue tenure-track faculty members and research scientists who have been most active and/or successful in their efforts to contribute directly to the commercialization of Purdue-generated/owned technologies. It’s intended as an official acknowledgement of the importance of technology commercialization by Purdue faculty, as well as its relevance for preeminence in the discovery, learning and engagement priorities of the University.
Nominations (including self-nominations) for this year's award must be submitted by midnight Wednesday to Mary Anne Sloan, managing director of the Office of Corporate and Global Partnerships and chair of the Outstanding Commercialization Award for Purdue University Faculty Committee. Nominations may be sent electronically to Sloan at masloan@purdue.edu or sent via campus mail to her office in Hovde Hall, Room 142. The award will be presented Nov. 3.
