The Program is comprised of the Faculty Innovation Award and the Focused Research Award within three broad subject categories: Information Technology, Devices & Materials, and Life Sciences.

With awards up to $150,000 per year for each accepted proposal, awards create new opportunities for university faculties to engage in pioneering research that could drive new technologies, industries and the future.
