Newsflash: The Association of University Technology Managers met in Hollywood, Fla., and had its own Final Four last week.

Lifesprout was named the winner. The Johns Hopkins startup is developing a soft tissue filler that can be used in plastic surgery. The big check was for $10,000.

The other finalists included:

GripBoost, the University of Maryland-College Park spinout that makes a quick-drying gel for football gloves.
