Cultivating Research
Call it watering the green spots. UNLV’s Faculty Opportunity Awards program provides seed funding for faculty researchers with promising ideas and a desire to pursue additional funding from government agencies, foundations, or private industry. The program has supported a wide variety of campus research projects involving multidisciplinary teams, single investigators, and other faculty working to develop intellectual property.![Palm trees and U.N.L.V. banner](/sites/default/files/custom-websites/views-no-results/images/D74742_001-768x512.jpg)

Paths to Innovation
For more than 30 years, U.S. universities have had the right to commercialize discoveries made through faculty research funded by the federal government. For a time, few universities made much of the opportunity. But today, as funding support for higher education is increasingly imperiled, marketing great ideas has never been more popular --- or more crucial. Three UNLV projects show how research benefits the university, the business community, and you.![Photo of Steve Rowland with microscope.](/sites/default/files/styles/768_width/public/series/04_Rowland_D70004_23.jpg?itok=GM1W2lUn)
