Applications Open for Third Cohort of Innovation Crossroads Program

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority, recently announced the opening of the application period for the third cohort of the AMO-funded program, Innovation Crossroads (IC).

IC, one of AMO’s Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Programs, embeds the next generation of postdoctoral talent within ORNL as entrepreneurial researchers to focus on energy-related topics, such as grid reliability and emerging technologies, with the goal of subsequently launching businesses.

Applications will close October 29, 2018, and selected fellows are expected to begin the program in May 2019. Interested entrepreneurs can learn more about IC and begin the application process at https://innovationcrossroads.ornl.gov.
