- UMSL Chemistry Researchers Featured on UM System Web Site
Drs. Alexei Demchenko, associate professor and director of graduate studies and Michael Nichols, associate professor, have collaborated to find a way to "turn off" the immune system when it overreacts to fight sepsis, a condition in which the immune system's reaction to an infection affects organ functions and can lead to septic shock. Their research has been featured in a video on the UM System web site.
- Applications Sought for Two New Programs to Support Bioscience Commercialization
To interested bioscience researchers, innovators, and potential entrepreneurs:
Do you have a science-based technology or idea that might be the basis of a new start-up business in St. Louis? Could you use initial funding and expert advice to prove your innovation further and to help secure private funding for a new business?
If so, two exciting, new regional programs may be just what you need to advance your idea and create a successful new start-up company.
The St. Louis Regional i6 Project will provide funding and support and the Bio Entrepreneur Development (BED) Program will provide training and support for the creation of new bioscience companies in St. Louis.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
- DoD Rapid Innovation Fund (formerly "Rapid Innovation Program") About to Launch
It's been a long time coming but what was billed at the Rapid Innovation Program (RIP) is now the Rapid Innovation Funding (RIF) program. It should be released in the form of a Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) on or about September 1, 2011.
The first round of funding is $99.5 million, with Army, Navy and Air Force having $24M each, and the remaining components with an aggregate of 27.5M. Projects should not exceed 24 months and $3M. It is expected that supplemental guidance memos from acquisition executives will be issued from the service specific component (army, navy etc.).
They are looking to transition innovative technology that resolve operational challenges characterized by Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUONs), as well as into ACAT I-IA, II, III, IV or other defense acquisition programs.
