The E-Team Program supports dedicated science- and engineering-based student teams from across the nation bring their high-impact innovation out of the lab and into the market.

There are three E-Team application cycles per year—with deadlines in October, January/February, and May. Applications must be submitted by 11:59pm ET on the day of the grant deadline in order to be considered. Typically, VentureWell opens the call for applications about 6-8 weeks before the deadline. Teams can begin writing their proposal narratives at any time.

• Science- and engineering-based inventions: An innovation that addresses a pressing social, health, or environmental challenge.
• Intent to Commercialize: A strong commitment to exploring commercialization of your innovation.
