AUTM Now Accepting Howard Bremer Scholarship Applications

Launched in 2002, the Howard Bremer Scholarship is an annual scholarship program that supports students and professionals new to the field pursuing a career in technology transfer. Named to honor our esteemed colleague, a pioneering AUTM member and past president of the association (1978–1979), the scholarship is awarded to those who— like Bremer —dream of becoming revolutionaries in the academic technology transfer field.

The AUTM Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2009 Howard Bremer Scholarship program to support the specialized training of up to five people who want to build expertise in academic technology transfer. The scholarship’s goal is to foster educational opportunities for individuals who are committed to the vision of technology transfer and are novices in the field.

To qualify, scholarship applicant should be a regular or student member and an employee of an academic, teaching, governmental, non-profit research entity, or a related organization of such an entity established for the purpose of facilitating technology transfer, or an international counterpart, thereof. Applicants must also have less than two years of experience in the profession or, if a student, must be studying technology transfer in an accredited graduate program.

The AUTM Foundation will select up to five scholars, who will receive:

  • Complimentary registration to the 2009 AUTM Annual Meeting, February 12-14, 2009, Orlando World Center Marriott Resort
  • $500 honorarium
  • Travel support up to $1300 to the 2009 AUTM Annual Meeting.
  • Formal recognition at the 2009 AUTM Annual Meeting in Orlando
