About this grant
This grant will enable the Prima Civitas Foundation, and its partners, to take the lead in coordinating a series of regional activities that will facilitate a broad-based understanding and dialogue around academia’s role as a commercialization engine for an economically distressed region. This initiative has identified exemplary practices that have helped a broader base of students, entrepreneurs, and potential investors to share in the largess that academic systems can offer business innovators.
