Can an AMI receive funding from private industry that is interested in sponsoring research?
Yes. AMIs can receive private funding from any source, provided that the funding is consistent with the Institute’s and the university’s interests. In some situations, when a project is being transitioned to industry, there may be a period where the project is jointly funded. Potential conflict of interest issues are carefully monitored.
