The Undergraduate Catalyst Award has been established through the generosity of a group of alumni (Team Polair) to provide early-stage funding for undergraduate projects involving the betterment of human health – whether focusing on mental health and wellbeing, community health, alleviating disease, or more.
All proposed projects should be in service to others, especially in the communities Hopkins call home. To be eligible, individual or team undergraduate projects MUST BE in early-stage development and need funding to create a prototype or pilot program to assist in their viability/ competitiveness for larger competitions/ award programs, patent application or other considerations.
All of the programming, resources, and funding at HOUR are free and non-dilutive. For information about University Student Intellectual Property (IP) Policies and other related questions, please visit The Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship.
