Applications Open for Science Venture Studio's Commercialization Fellowship
The Science Venture Studio at Winrock International has opened applications for its summer 2023 cohort of commercialization fellows.
The Science Venture Studio is looking to hire five advanced senior or graduate students who can commit to 20 hours per week to work alongside the Science Venture Studio team to help a company prepare and submit a Small Business Innovation Research or Small Business Technology Transfer proposal.
Applications close April 21. The internship includes a $5,000 stipend and will run from May to August.
Each fellow will be partnered with a Science Venture Studio client company to work over the course of a semester to conduct market research, customer discovery and other duties as needed to reach the milestones the companies have identified for a successful small business proposal.
