AIC has established partnerships with the Bakar Fellows Program and CITRIS and the Banatao Institute. To be considered for AIC grant funding and support, innovators should apply to the Bakar Fellows Program or to the CITRIS Innovation Fellowship and AIC Awards Program. Grant amounts and uses parallel those offered through the partner program. So, for example, a Principal Investigator (PI) might apply for one to three years of funding to support a post-doc in their lab exploring the commercialization potential of a promising innovation. Successful AIC grantees will also participate in all aspects of the Bakar Fellows and CITRIS Programs, including CITRIS Foundry. To be considered for an AIC grant, interested academic innovators can apply to the Bakar Fellows Program and the CITRIS Innovation Fellowship and AIC Awards Program during its normal application cycle.
