The California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA is currently accepting letters of intent (LOIs) for their newly established seed funding program the Noble Family Innovation Fund. The Noble Family Innovation Fund will focus on identifying, supporting and accelerating high‐risk, high‐reward research, from basic to translational, with promise for commercialization and societal impact. The goal is to create a model for academic research and entrepreneurship that enables strategic investment to seed discoveries that have the potential to be translated for the public good.
LOIs must be submitted via email to grants@cnsi.ucla.edu with the header “Noble Family Innovation Fund LOI” by Thursday, April 15, 2021.
Please see the CNSI website or the LOI program solicitation for details about the program's objectives, eligibility requirements, and LOI submission guidelines.
