Dr. Bruce Hamaker receives Trask Award

Dr. Bruce Hamaker has received the Trask Technology Innovation Award.  The Trask Technology Innovation Program was established in 1974, and is a Purdue University development mechanism to assist faculty with additional work to further the commercial potential of intellectual property disclosed to the Office of Technology Commercialization.  The program does not support basic research but instead provides funds to reduce inventions to practice or provide additional data or experimental data that will make the technology more marketable or patentable.  

The Trask program is open to Purdue faculty and students who have licensed intellectual property from the university.  Awards are limited to a one-time pre-seed investment.
