Pitt.INC, a collaboration between Pitt’s Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OIE) and the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, is part of the University’s larger initiative to bring ideas and discoveries identified in the lab closer to products and treatments for patients.

Awards are granted for up to $50K to test scientific hypotheses addressing unmet needs or challenges in human health and disease with a commercial endpoint.

The program is open to University faculty, postdocs, students, and staff and offers funding, community, and a simplified process to enter ideas into the commercialization pathway. By kickstarting the testing of ideas, Pitt.INC adds value to innovators and boosts their potential for successful commercialization and societal impact.

If your project already has an invention disclosure on file with OIE or existing proof-of-principle or proof-of-concept data, please view other programs offered by the office that may be more suited to your project.
