What are the grants requirements of to ensure funding through the complete cycle?
Each InvenTeam is required to submit progress and expense reports on scheduled dates throughout the grants cycle, culminating with a summary report that details process and design, addresses the viability of its invention, and discusses next steps. A physical prototype is also required to provide concrete evidence of the invention, e.g., CD of new software, photos of large-scale projects, or physical results of biological/chemical experiments is also due at this time. Each InvenTeam is required to showcase its prototype during the Lemelson-MIT Programs annual EurekaFest festivities.
