== Tactic #3:Presentation Workshops on Buisness Modeling and Patents and Workshop SEED Grant Funding ==

Many students may have excitment with an idea and research they have conducted through Independent Projects / Research Oppurtunity Projects (IP/ROP). They may have ideas on how to make this research marketable, but do not have the knowledge to start. A workshop at the end of each quarter, after the End-of-Quarter Symposium for the IP/ROP may be helpful to provide insight on how to utilize research to get the ideas patented. Free resources that can aid in the initial paperwork of the paten patent process will be provided. Also, providing a contact for students to a lawyer or an appropriate faculty member for patent review will be benificial. Students will learn the full steps for a buisness plan process through a series of workshops held in the spring on 2014.

In addition to Patents, students will need to know how to get their startups well... started. Financially, SEED Grants can aid in these student ventures. A workshop on how to get SEED Grant Funding will provide the resources and the first steps to starting the process. In the workshop, students will understand what SEED Funding is, what it can do for students, how it can be used, and how to apply for it. This workshop should be offered in the spring quarter at RHIT, when students are just finishing up research and possibly solidifying patents. In addition, the school year will be ending. So, time for writing this hefty document will be available for aspiring individuals. Team Leader:: IP/ROP member TBDRay Anderson
