An analysis of the Texas A&amp;M innovation and entrepreneurship landscape indicates that Texas A&amp;M is already home to many innovation- and entrepreneurship-focused resources can contribute to developing the innovative and entrepreneurial capabilities of students.

The scattered and “out-of-sight” nature of these resources diminishes both the value of innovative and entrepreneurial thinking and existing resources to students.

<p>Gurlovleen Rathore: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:TAMU LC emblem.png|thumb|center|350px|TAMU LC emblem.png]]<br /> <br /> = Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship =<br /> <br /> Texas A&amp;M has support for students to learn about and become involved with entrepreneurship. Programs, like &lt;u&gt;Startup Aggieland&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;Aggies in Business,&lt;/u&gt; are generally new and constantly evolving and have been put in place to reach out to students across college and disciplinary boundaries.<br /> <br /> The &lt;u&gt;Mays Business School Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship&lt;/u&gt; provides undergraduate and graduate certificates for entrepreneurship.&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, the undergraduate certificate is limited to undergraduate students in Mays Business School. Only the graduate certificate is available to students across colleges. The Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, however, does&amp;nbsp;support student entrepreneurship as well as faculty and the local community with competitions and lecture series to inspire and educate across campus. [[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/ http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/]] Some of its popular programs include:<br /> <br /> *[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/ideas-challenge/ Ideas Challenge]&amp;nbsp;- idea competition where 40 finalist ideas are chosen, and the top 3 ideas receive a cash prize (1st - $3,000, 2nd - $2,00, 3rd - $1000)<br /> *[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/3DS/ 3 Day Startup]&amp;nbsp;- a weekend event where students collaborate to form businesses and demo a prototype to a panel of judges, including investors<br /> <br /> [[File:TAMU LC 3ds 1.jpg|thumb|right|TAMU LC 3ds 1.jpg]][[File:TAMU LC 3ds 2.jpg|thumb|right|TAMU LC 3ds 2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> *[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/lunch-learn/ Lunch and Learn]&amp;nbsp;- lunch speaker events<br /> *[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/start-up-101/ Startup 101]- a weekly lesson spanning 3 or 4 weeks featuring presentations from business leaders, marketers, and IP attorneys and their advice on startup creation<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Startup Aggieland&lt;/u&gt; is a brand new student incubator designed to provide students who have launch-ready concepts with the opportunity to receive co-working spaces, mentors, and a supportive community.&amp;nbsp; They lack laboratories, equipment, and funding. [[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/accelerator/ http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/accelerator/]]<br /> <br /> [[File:TAMU LC startupaggieland 1.jpg|thumb|right|TAMU LC startupaggieland 1.jpg]][[File:TAMU LC startupaggieland 2.jpg|thumb|right|TAMU LC startupaggieland 2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> &lt;u&gt;Aggies in Business (AiB)&lt;/u&gt; is another brand new program that provides business consulting for local businesses, and enables students to be employed by the university to perform this consulting work.&amp;nbsp; The student employees are overseen by leadership.&amp;nbsp; [[http://www.txaib.org/images/txaib/pages/aib_consulting.html http://www.txaib.org/images/txaib/pages/aib_consulting.html]]<br /> <br /> Texas A&amp;M also has several avenues, such as the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship Newsletter, Texas A&amp;M Regional Engineering Conference, and Engineering Development (hosted by Student Engineers' Council), to inform students of and market innovation and entrepreneurial activities and opportunities.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> = Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =<br /> <br /> The university offers great resources to enable faculty entrepreneurship. CNVE offers online resources ( for e.g. lectures and case-studies) to help faculty introduce innovation and entrepreneurship to students in both innovation- and entrepreneurship-focused and non- innovation and entrepreneurship-focused courses.<br /> <br /> Faculty are allowed to participate in nearly all of the programs run by &lt;u&gt;CNVE&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; which also enables them to be introduced to and educated in entrepreneurship, and there are numerous institutions that provide commercialization of research. For example, the Office of Texas A&amp;M System Technology Commericialization assists faculty in taking their research outside the university in the form of inventions and startups.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> The &lt;u&gt;Division of Research&lt;/u&gt; at A&amp;M is a library of resources in the university and surrounding network.&amp;nbsp; They accept grant proposals and funnel research opportunities to the correct institutions (most of which are listed under Entrepreneurship and Funding Resources).&amp;nbsp; [[http://vpr.tamu.edu/about http://vpr.tamu.edu/about]]<br /> <br /> = University Technology Transfer Function =<br /> <br /> Texas A&amp;M offers a number of offices to encourage quick transfer of research to industry, aided also by some incubators in the surrounding Bryan / College Station area.<br /> <br /> The &lt;u&gt;Texas A&amp;M Office of Technology Commercialization&lt;/u&gt; identifies and supports the transition of academic research into a monetized product by linking researchers with entrepreneurs and investors.&amp;nbsp; Businesses are spin-outs of the A&amp;M System research and licensed through A&amp;M.

<p>Gurlovleen Rathore: Created page with &quot;'''&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:xx-large;&quot;&gt;EPA's P3: People, Prosperity, and the Planet&lt;/span&gt;''' __________________________________________________________________________________...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>'''&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:xx-large;&quot;&gt;EPA's P3: People, Prosperity, and the Planet&lt;/span&gt;'''<br /> <br /> __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Overview&lt;br/&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;EPA’s P3 – People, Prosperity, and the Planet – is a research grant competition for student teams to propose and develop sustainable solutions to current and future problems. Eligible research areas include: water, energy, agriculture, built environment, materials, chemicals, cookstoves, and green infrastructure.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The program, which was found in 2004, consists of two phases. In the first phase, interdisciplinary student teams are awarded $15,000 to develop ideas. The ideas are then evaluated at the National Sustainable Design Exposition in Washington, DC. If judged to be of high quality, student teams are honored with a P3 award and a grant of $90,000 to commercialize the idea.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Purpose&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The overall purpose of EPA’s P3 program is “to create innovative green technologies designed to advance economic growth while reducing environmental impact and benefit people, prosperity, and the planet” (Facebook, P3). The P3 program fills this overall purpose by:&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;(1)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Support[ing] innovative research on projects or designs, and&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;(2)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Develop[ing] interdisciplinary teams of students that want to improve the quality of life for people, promote prosperity by developing local economies, and protect the planet by conserving resources and minimizing pollution…” (EPA)&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;div&gt;<br /> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Distinct Differences from Other Offerings&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;EPA’s P3 program’s uniqueness lies in its two-phase design. Not only does the grant fund student teams to develop ideas, it also provides money to commercialize the idea.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;In addition, according to EPA, “the P3 program is unique in that the teams themselves provide both the scientific or technical question (for an environmental problem) and they propose the hypothesis, or design, to address it.” &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The student teams get the opportunity to visit the National Sustainable Design Exposition in Washington, DC, where they can network with colleagues and peers from other institutions and meet potential employers. They can also plug into the P3 Alumni Network ([http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/teams/index.html http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/teams/index.html])&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br /> &lt;div&gt;<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Impact Achieved for Students and Campus&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;EPA’s P3 program has been in existence since 2004. Since 2004, the program seem to have had substantial impact and on multiple campuses. The 2013/2014 program winners, their campuses and project titles can be found at [http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/current/index.html http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/current/index.html]. Past winners are listed at [http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/past/index.html http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/past/index.html]. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;div&gt;<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Steps Required to Bring Resources to Campus&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;'''Eligibility Criteria''': Only institutions of higher education in the United States are eligible to apply for the grant, to support teams of undergraduate and graduate students interested in proposing, developing, and implementing sustainable designs. Universities are allowed to collaborate with others outside the US though. Community colleges are eligible to apply.&amp;nbsp; Multiple members of the institutions can apply, however, the projects cannot be inter-dependent. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Applicants (both student members and faculty advisors) MUST be citizens of United States or its territories or be lawfully admitted to the United States. Students must also be enrolled in the college they are representing in the competition.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;If you are a student or student team interested in applying to the program, you will need to find a faculty member to submit the grant application for you.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The following '''steps''' can be taken if you can interest a faculty member in applying to EPA’s P3 program:&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Read the Request for Application (RFA) completely; the RFA is available at [http://www.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/YYYY/YYYY_p3.html http://www.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/YYYY/YYYY_p3.html] (place the current year for “YYYY”)&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Highlight sections/phrases that are critical for success.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Draft your proposal&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;a.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; See 5.A.2 of the RFA for criteria External Evaluators will use to judge the technical merit of your project;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;b.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; See 5.A.3 of the RFA for criteria EPA staff will use to review the programmatic merit of your proposal;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;c.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make sure your team and its work is clearly identified along with a roadmap for implementation of the project in the proposal;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;d.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make sure your projects connects well with funding agencies’ mission and areas of interest.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;e.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Identify both immediate (for e.g. reports) and potential (why we do care for this project?) outcomes in the proposal&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Submit your application (along with other components listed on the RFA) on grants.gov.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;More details about the process can be found at [http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/apply/index.html http://epa.gov/ncer/p3/apply/index.html] (see under How to Apply)&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;div&gt;<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:x-large;&quot;&gt;Contact Information&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;'''Interested folks can contact the P3 program personal:'''&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Cynthia Nolt-Helms&lt;br/&gt;U.S. EPA&lt;br/&gt;Office of Research and Development&lt;br/&gt;Washington, DC&lt;br/&gt;E-mail: [mailto:nolt-helms.cynthia@epa.gov nolt-helms.cynthia@epa.gov]&lt;br/&gt;Phone: 703-347-8012&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;OR&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Gregory Lank&lt;br/&gt;U.S. EPA&lt;br/&gt;Office of Research and Development&lt;br/&gt;Washington, D.C.&lt;br/&gt;E-mail: [mailto:lank.gregory@epa.gov lank.gregory@epa.gov]&lt;br/&gt;Phone: 703-347-8128&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Alternatively, you can contact personal through the EPA website at: [http://epa.gov/ncer/contact_us.html http://epa.gov/ncer/contact_us.html] or in the PowerPoint on “How to Apply” tab.&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;Find EPA’s P3 on Facebook at [https://www.facebook.com/epaP3 https://www.facebook.com/epaP3]&lt;/span&gt;</div>
