Trienens-Q Translational Fund

Fueling the journey from lab discovery to commercial opportunity

The Translational Fund provides $90,000 to $120,000 in milestone-driven support for Northwestern research teams developing cleantech solutions. This funding is designed to help move early-stage technologies closer to commercialization through prototype development, technical de-risking, and market validation.

Key Features:

  • Open to faculty-led projects based on existing Northwestern intellectual property
  • Focus on technologies with clear environmental benefits and high commercial potential
  • Guided by industrial advisors and commercialization experts

Funded Projects Include:

  • Hydrogen storage systems using Fe-based redox power beds
  • Recyclable polyurethane foams for industrial applications
  • Clay-based solid-state electrolytes for lithium metal batteries
  • Low-temperature, solventless chemical recycling of Nylon 6
