Faculty invited to submit applications for prototype development

The John A. See Innovation Award was established in December of 2013 by John A. See to support prototype development.

Prototype development may include development of products in engineering and science, development of life-enhancing therapeutic products, creation of application of new knowledge and artistic ventures. While primarily intended for faculty doing distinguished work, no advanced student with a good idea should be excluded.

A selection committee considers applications twice a year. Deadlines are Oct. 1 and Feb. 1. Awards will be announced at the fall and spring commencements as appropriate, with about $40,000 being awarded each year. The form is available at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?3226 on the Academic Affairs website.
