Sixteen Research Teams at Texas A&M Receive Innovation Awards

Sixteen teams of Texas A&M University researchers will share awards totaling more than $3.55 million from the university’s Advancing Discovery to Market (ADM) program, the Division of Research. Launched in February, ADM supports researchers within the Texas A&M research enterprise as they develop innovations into products or demonstrate their market potential.

“I congratulate these outstanding research teams for bringing significant innovations to the cusp of the marketplace,” said Gen. (Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III, interim president. “Their work is foundational to the research mission of our land-grant university: To make discoveries, refine them into products and introduce them into our society for the common good.”

”Advancing any discovery from workbench to marketplace is a significant challenge for any university researcher,” said Dr. Jack G. Baldauf, vice president for research. “These 16 projects offer great promise for finding commercial success through a patent, a license or a start-up company. We look forward to watching their journey toward that end.”
