The Canopy Fund will grant nondilutive seed and concept awards to Oklahoma universities, totaling approximately $400,000 of investment. Through this staged application, applicants will better understand the path to clinical use for their technology and become better equipped with skills to survive “the valley of death” that frequently squelches budding innovations. Canopy Fund awardees will enter Canopy Commence, working with industry experts, project managers, and an ecosystem of business, operational, and technical resources to fortify their technology’s path to a viable clinical product.
