The FY2022 Request for Proposals for Technology Advancement Grants (TAG) is now open for USC researchers. Join us for a panel discussion with a previous grant recipient and two industry experts who have reviewed TAG applications in the past. They will provide insight and tips on what will help make your TAG application stand out. Panelists include:

• Hallie Kuhn, PhD, Vice President, Alexandria Venture Investments / Alexandria Real Estate Equities
• Caleb Smith, Managing Director, Salem Partners LLC
• Dr. Paula Cannon, Distinguished Professor of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology, Keck School of Medicine of USC

Technology Advancement Grants are offered by the Stevens Center to support early stage technologies invented at USC through validation or proof-of-concept development. The awards add value to unlicensed USC-owned technology, aiming to increase the probability of obtaining a license in the future.
