A page within Research & Sponsored Programs
The UW System-sponsored Applied Research Grant program offers fourteen (14) month awards for up to $50,000 or, for collaborative proposals, up to $50,000 per participating institution. Faculty and staff in all disciplines on all UW campuses are eligible to apply. Award recipients should consult the appropriate technology transfer agent in order to maximize the potential for intellectual property (IP) protection for IP created using Applied Research Grant funding.
Joint UW System - WiSys Applied Research - WiTAG Program
The WiSys Technology Advancement Grant (WiTAG) program offers a maximum of $150,000 in funding over a three-year period in science and technology fields only . The UWSA and WiSys collaboration in the joint Applied Research-WiTAG program allows eligible faculty to apply for funding from both programs with one application. UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee researchers are not eligible for Applied Research-WiTAG awards. Intellectual property created using Applied Research-WiTAG funding must be assigned to WiSys
