The 707 Hub is ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s innovation incubator; a place where ideas are shared, stretched, challenged and realized. It is home to the Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship and the Social Innovation Initiative. Because we believe anyone can be innovative, the 707 Hub is open to all graduate students, and we encourage a cross disciplinary approach to solving problems. Here you will find free tools and resources to help with prototyping, such as sewing machines and 3D printers and access to mentors to help with idea development. Additionally, graduate students can sell their products on our new site and start growing their business right here on campus! Whether you are launching a new product, technology, or a way to improve campus or the community, Innovation Starts Here! Reach out to us to talk more about moving your ideas forward.

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) recognizes there are funding opportunities for students that are required to be administered by the university (e.g., National Institutes of Health NRSA, National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program, American Heart Association, etc.) or grant opportunities that would be in the student’s best interest to be established in a university grant account (e.g., when other students will be hired, when participant incentives need to be paid, etc.). To this end, ORSP will only work with students in these particular cases and ORSP reserves the right to make the determination as to whether or not ORSP should be involved in the
application/award process.

Additional student resources supported by ORSP include:

• Current funding opportunities under the sub-section: FINDING FUNDING (Student Opportunities)
