This is an excellent opportunity for graduate-level students interested in business development, product management, legal, or investment career paths. This program offers the chance to work directly with UW inventors and technology managers to:

• Evaluate the potential of exciting health innovations
• Perform product and market research
• Gain consulting experience
• Assess early-stage technology opportunities for start-ups or licensing
• Analyze revenue and business models

Fellows will delve into the technology and the market, objectively look at the technology’s potential, and then make final recommendations. Fellows will also work closely with experts from ITHS, Washington Research Foundation Capital, CoMotion, and the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship. Five fellows will be selected for the experience; the award includes a $10,000 stipend per student.

This award is sponsored by the Institute of Translational Health Sciences and the Washington Research Foundation. Past fellows have included students from bioengineering, business, engineering, health sciences, pharmacology, information science, international relations, and law.
