Funds
Funding is critical for academic research production and for supporting the entrepreneurial process. The Office of Research and Innovation offers and manages a variety of funding mechanisms to support both research and innovation endeavors.
The Brewed Ideas Challenge
The Brewed Ideas Challenge is an annual pitch competition hosted by ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s 707 Hub in partnership with Brady Corporation. Open to current students, this program focuses on ‘brewing’ and growing innovative ideas, products, and services, right here on campus. A 4-week crash course, called the Brewed Ideas Bootcamp, is offered to help validate your idea before applying for the Brewed Ideas Challenge.
