The application process is now open for the Enterprise Innovation Catalyst Fund Proto Stage Awards and the Validation Stage Pre-proposals.
Proto Stage Award will fund device and digital health projects and other early-stage projects on a rolling basis to validate preliminary proof-of-concept ideas and expedite the development of prototypes for commercial advancement. The Proto Stage award can provide funding up to $50,000 and projects must be completed within 12-months.
- Validation Stage Award, incorporating the Selma and Lawrence Ruben Validation Stage Awards, will benefit projects that have already demonstrated preliminary proof of concept, identified unmet need in the market and developed a plan for commercialization. This award will serve as a reimagining of the Daedalus Fund for Innovation, which was established in 2014 to support early-stage applied and translational research projects that have clear, near-term commercial potential. The Validation Stage awards can provide funding up to $200,000 for projects that can be completed in 12-24 months. There are two stages to the application process, short pre-proposals which will be reviewed and selected projects invited to submit a more detailed full proposal. The deadline for submitting pre-proposals is July 17th, 2025.
All projects must have a related invention disclosure submitted to the Center for Technology Licensing (CTL).
Full details of the awards and the application process can be found here. If you have any questions, please send an email to: ei-catalystfund@cornell.edu.

Are you a STEM researcher interested in making an impact with your technology innovation? The National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program can provide you with professional training, mentoring and up to $50,000 in funding for customer discovery.
Hosted by the Interior Northeast I-Corps Hub (IN I-Corps), the virtual NSF I-Corps Information Session is designed for busy graduate students, postdocs and faculty interested in learning more about I-Corps regional and national programming. NSF I-Corps instructors and alumni will be in attendance to share their experience and answer questions.
The NSF created I-Corps (Innovation Corps) to bridge the gap between fundamental research discoveries in science and engineering and the commercialization of technologies, products and processes with the potential to benefit society.
