Washington University Gap Fund

In 2023, OTM introduced the Washington University Gap Fund to support translational work that increases the quality and value of promising medical, engineering, and physical science technologies created by WashU researchers.

As of 2024:

The WashU Gap Fund has awarded nearly $487,000 to support translational work on 10 technologies. One technology has received an additional $320,000 in federal research funding. It is licensed exclusively to a startup company that has received third-party dilutive funding, while a venture studio is considering two other technologies within OTM.
