Texas A&M University’s Advancing Discovery to Market (ADM) Innovation Awards program has awarded $3.4 million to 17 research teams in the first stage of its second full year of funding, the Division of Research announced.

The awards support Texas A&M researchers as they translate discoveries into innovations with commercial potential. ADM is open to researchers, faculty, staff and students of Texas A&M University as well as three state agencies: Texas A&M AgriLife Research, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.

ADM receives funding from Texas A&M’s Office of the President and The Texas A&M University System’s Office of the Chancellor.
