The University of California, Davis, is awarding over $480,000 to help scientists advance compelling research and innovations toward commercial applications through the Science Translation and Innovative Research (STAIR™) proof-of-concept grant program. The program plays an important role in helping campus innovators bridge the early-stage hurdle of access to funding during one of the most challenging phases in new technology development.

“Funding from the STAIR grant program continues to play a critical role in helping our innovative faculty members advance promising new technologies along a path towards societal impact,” said Simon Atkinson, vice chancellor for research. “I would like to congratulate each of the award recipients and look forward to seeing the impact of their work.”
