Yes, I think research and business develop is key to making a grant work.
We want to make sure our students have the tools to run a small business
(gaming or digital media) and develop relationships with existing
businesses so they have jobs to go to when they graduate. Interactive
media is the future.

I'd love to have a support system for small digital media/animation/gaming
start-ups. There are some in my small community that have the creative
abilities but not all the tools business wise to make it work well. I
imagine this the same everywhere. If we had a support system they could
turn to for help to make their business work and get their product to the
customer.

With interactive media, we have to think of new ways of training beyond
film crew training. You don't need a huge crew to produce for the web.
You don't need huge teams doing animation and gaming anymore. So much
more is possible with a small team of dedicated people (cell phone apps,
YouTube, etc.).

I consider myself more of an artist than a business person so my business
knowledge is more limited, that's why we'd need businesses involved to
make this work. I know grant funders really like as many partnerships as
possible so a mix of university and businesses would be great to make
funding possible.
