Our Fellows Programs
Overview
Pioneered at UC Berkeley, the Bakar Fellows Program catalyzes commercialization of innovative research by supporting aspiring faculty- entrepreneurs and their research teams. The Bakar Award and AIC-Bakar Award support research that holds commercial promise.
Faculty Fellows
UC Berkeley faculty are no strangers to innovation, but technology translation can be a challenging endeavor.
The Bakar Fellows Program helps faculty overcome the challenges of entrepreneurship with funding, mentorship, and community-building.
Innovation Fellows
The Innovation Fellows program is an opportunity for entrepreneurially-inclined graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to participate in translating research to commercial applications.
Ignite Scholars
The Ignite Scholars Program provides undergraduate students with a stipend to work with Bakar Fellows in their labs. A new cohort of exceptional undergraduates are chosen for the program every semester.
