Innovative Finance for Translational Research (IFTR)

Faculty and researchers at the University of Utah are developing interventions that have the potential for positive social or environmental impact when translated into a community setting, but many lack the access of capital to make this transition.

In collaboration with the Office of the Vice President of Research at the University of Utah, The Sorenson Impact Institute is working with University of Utah researchers from a variety of disciplines to identify whether these projects can be translated into the community by leveraging innovative financial approaches.
