For any OU-affiliated startups (e.g. alumni, faculty, staff, students, etc) that might be interested in the OU Startup Incubator at the Tom Love Innovation Hub. The no-cost Incubator provides dedicated office and workspace as well as personalized mentorship and expertise to launch these promising startups. Tenants get full access to the Tom Love Innovation Hub and have the opportunity to work alongside Start-Hub Fellows – a group of more than 50 students with skills sets in technology, design and business. For startups in OKC, Tulsa, or other areas outside of Norman, they can still apply to the Incubator and take advantage of virtual participating in the incubator until they are able to establish comparable programs on the OUHSC and OU-Tulsa campuses. Applications are due September 3, 2021 - so they are asking everyone interested to apply as soon as possible: https://lnkd.in/dKX8Hram

Purpose: ACS-IRG grants are designed to support the development of beginning investigators who have no national peer-reviewed research grant support. The program supports junior faculty conducting cancer research pilot projects to obtain preliminary results that will enable them to compete successfully for national research grants.
Eligibility: Full time Assistant Professors within six years of their first independent faculty appointment and with no active peer-reviewed research funding from national funding agencies (e.g. NIH, DOD, NSF, ACS) may apply.
Funding: Up to $50,000 per award for one year. The SCC will fund up to four awards for the FALL 2021 cycle.
Deadline for application: September 10, 2021, 5 PM.
Please refer to the flyer (attached) for application link and guidelines.
Office of Technology Commercialization presents the following opportunities for researchers to engage with industry (click here for more information, or email otc@ou.edu or meredith-wilkerson@ouhsc.edu).
- Johnson & Johnson Innovation is seeking collaborations with academics in the area of cell line engineering, with a particular interest in inducible expression of exogenous transgenes integrated into the genome of human HEK293 cells to allow controlled expression from suspension cultures in a large bioreactor. Approaches of interest include: transcription factors, ligand-activated nuclear hormone receptors, riboswitches, and ligands that modulate RNA splicing. Out of scope: post-translational modification approaches, temperature or light-activated approaches.
Submission entails a 1-pg non-confidential summary of technology and supporting validation data (deadline 9/10).
- A global electronics manufacturing company (requested anonymity) is looking to fund projects for the development of consumer electronic devices. Technologies of interest include: imaging sensors, AI for creating mapping information, non-invasive blood glucose sensing, non-contact human signal monitoring sensors, wearable products, innovative robotics, etc. Out of scope: non-validated technology. Submission entails a 1-pg non-confidential summary of technology (deadline 9/17).
- one.five is a biotech platform startup company aiming to scale applied material science, specifically polymer coating technologies pertaining to paper or pulp-based substrates. Out of scope: coating technologies that do not optimize coat weight or use of materials, technologies using rigid materials. Research should be scalable to market within 1-5 years. Submission entails a 1-pg non-confidential summary of technology (deadline 9/24).
Effective immediately, all Human Subject Research (HSR) activities including clinical trials are allowed to resume provided all OUHSC COVID-19 safety protocols can be met. It is expected that all personnel will adhere to the requirements in the OUHSC COVID-19 Response Plan. If your current HSR protocol was temporarily halted due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the HRPP Office will update the study status of those protocols without any actionrequired from you. Also, in accordance with campus policy, our research laboratories* remain closed to K-12 students for shadowing, volunteer, and educational purposes, but open to visitors, undergraduates, graduates, and post-docs from any institution for those purposes, provided the following are observed by these individuals. The manager of the area where these individuals will be is responsible for compliance:
- individuals will be required to show proof of a negative COVID test (within past 48 hours) or documentation of COVID vaccination, if required based on screening results
- all individuals will complete the HSC online COVID-19 training module in OnPoint, using their HSC credentials
- all individuals (including students, faculty, staff, and volunteers) will comply with OU’s COVID-19 vaccine policy:
- those with patient-facing or research participant-facing responsibilities or who will be in patient care or human research participant settings must be vaccinated against COVID-19
- all other individuals will be strongly encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19
* all individuals will be informed that they must comply with and be given the link to the HSC COVID-19 Response Plan
*Rotations in clinical areas on campus and at OUMI are limited to OUHSC students, at least through July 2021. With these changes, we are retiring the Return to Research Plan and will refer to the OUHSC COVID Response Plan for COVID protocols. If you identify a deficiency caused by this action, please email vpr@ouhsc.edu.
