A JTFI program recently launched through the UChicago Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation supports two researchers at Argonne and Fermilab through courses, accelerators, and access to MBA students and accomplished mentors who allow fellows to explore commercial pathways for high-potential technologies developed within the national labs.
To help bring technologies from the lab to the market, the Lab Innovation Fellowship Program has launched with the support of the University of Chicago Joint Task Force Initiative, a signature University of Chicago program dedicated to helping Argonne and Fermilab achieve mission success by opening channels of frequent communication and collaboration across institutions. Through the program, two fellows are selected to spend two academic quarters taking advantage of programs and resources offered by the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
