Innovations targeting markets for industrial coatings, wireless communication, human resource management, equine distress notification (and prevention) and unmanned aircraft systems were approved in the first two submission rounds of USTAR Technology Commercialization Grants (TCG) at Utah State University.
Created in 2009, the grant program was designed to bring innovative new technologies to market from Utah’s public colleges and universities. To date nine submissions have been approved by the USTAR Governing Authority representing aggregate funding of $506,696. Faculty members are encouraged to apply for grants in the final remaining two submission rounds.

technology commercialization office. “The USTAR TCG program was designed
