Adopt an Idea

Adopt an Idea is a program to encourage the development and advancement of past innovative ideas submitted by OIT staff through the Accelerating Innovation program that could not progress or achieve their original intent.

Many innovative ideas are available for adoption to OIT staff and would benefit from new sponsorship or joint collaboration with the original idea submitter. Visit the “Adopt an Idea” tab on the Accelerating Innovation channel in MS Teams to explore all the ideas available for adoption.

As with any idea submitted to the Accelerating Innovation program, advancement of an adopted idea can result in monetary awards. Visit the Accelerating Innovation website ​​to learn more.

If you see an idea that you would like to adopt, please contact the Accelerating Innovation team at oit-innovation@uci.edu.
