Bioscience Innovation Fund:

The OHSU Bioscience Innovation Fund helps bridge the gap between discovery and initial commercial seed funding for promising early stage OHSU technologies. Through this fund, the University invests a limited amount of money in order to achieve a specific set of milestones needed to help achieve an initial commercial investment. This commercial investment may come from a licensee, angel investor, or early stage venture capital fund. The Fund is provided by the OHSU Foundation and the application process is managed through the Technology and Research Collaborations office.
