Principal investigators at Georgetown University should consider and explore the variety of opportunities for industry collaborations and sponsorship as well as foundation grants. Some examples are linked below

Please note, to protect confidential information and intellectual property, we advise you to discuss only the published aspects of your research when discussing possible research collaborations with companies or foundations. While most submission portals will request non-confidential summaries of your research, some may not, and it is prudent for you to contact OTC before submitting a proposal through a company portal.

For additional collaboration and funding resources please consider visiting the Office of the Dean for Research, Research Development Services, and the Office of Institutional Partnerships as well as subscribing to the FUND*Ability blog.
