Dear Prospective Project Applicant,

This online form facilitates the harvesting of practicum projects for Duke's Commercializing Technology Innovations (CTI) course conducted each fall semester. Complete this online application by 5:00 PM on August 14 for consideration. Each applicant will be notified by 5:00 PM on September 10 via e-mail regarding selection status (~5-10 projects are typically chosen from the candidate pool).  You are welcome to e-mail joseph.holmes@duke.edu to verify your application was successfully received and/or to inquire about your selection status.  

Potential sponsors submit projects via this online application form.  We use your response to create a project announcement to entice students to have interest in your project.  Students vote on project options of interest and, for projects selected, I assign 3-5 students to each project team.  Projects commence in early September and finish in early December.  Students interface with sponsors during the semester via Zoom (or selected in-person meetings if sponsors are local); I serve as the Duke mentor for each team.  After a kickoff call the first week or so of the project, students typically have a check-in Zoom call with sponsors every 2 weeks or so. I sometimes give priority to local/NC sponsors, but will absolutely consider projects from any location depending on the size and interests of my class.  Visit the CTI practicum web page (https://sites.google.com/acuityedge.com/duke-cti-practicum) if you wish to see more details about how the CTI course and practicum work.

The Core Project Definition section of the application is most important, where you provide a project title, background, and goal(s).  We will use your answers in this section to build a project profile that will encourage students to have interest in your project.  Other questions asked in this application are simply used internally to better appreciate your project and its fit within the CTI course.

*** If you worry about any internet-interruption risks, then please prepare your core answers offline and then paste your responses into the survey later.  That said, a "Save & Continue" feature has been added to this application in case you cannot complete the application in one session.  If you use that feature, then just be SURE to check your spam folder for the reply email containing the link you will need to resume the application at a later date.

If you want to see what the entire application looks like before completing it online, then download this PDF before continuing (for viewing only, not data entry):

We harvest applications online so that we can most efficiently generate an announcement per candidate project.  That said, a copy of your online application response will be automatically emailed to you upon submission for your reference and future use.

Thanks in advance for submitting a candidate project!
