Montana State University Office of Research, Economic Development and Graduate Education awards funding for MSU inventions

Montana State University’s Office of Research, Economic Development and Graduate Education awarded $167,500 in funding earlier this month as part of a new program intended to support the commercialization of technologies developed at the university.

This fall was the first time MSU has distributed these “CATalyst” gap fund awards, which are provided to inventions that show strong market potential. Five MSU inventions from the College of Agriculture, Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering and College of Letters and Science were funded.
