'''Framework for Opportunity Convergence and the Utilization of Sustainable Solutions (FOCUSS) Idea Competition''' provides students a unique opportunity to share and cultivate creative solutions for sponsoring corporations. All current Prairie View A&M students are eligible to participate. Johnson Controls is a major corporate sponsor of the competition.

There does not yet appear to be a formal arrangement to engage PVAMU faculty in entrepreneurship or commercialization of research initiatives. However, a number of PVAMU engagements appear to suggest an effort to engage both faculty and students in research and commercialization initiatives.  These include:

*Granting faculty additional release time from teaching

<li>University will grant a limited number of faculty an additional 25% release time for one semester or $3,000 to $6,000 to support faculty development.</li>

</ul>
