Technology Transfer
Technology transfer refers to the complex process of moving research to application through the development of new products, processes, applications, and services. The process encompasses a circular and iterative process from research and discovery through commercialization and revenue generation that then feeds further research and discovery.
Innovation Scholars projects engage student teams in the entire technology transfer process, with projects that are at different stages of development.
Innovation Scholars | MAYO CLINIC and NASA
Mayo Clinic and NASA projects tend to be closer to the idea-generation stage where evaluation and exploration of product development, potential applications, and commercialization options are front of mind. These projects may or may not have patents associated with them yet.
Innovation Scholars | Emerging Biomedical and Healthcare Companies
Company projects have typically moved beyond initial product development stages into considerations of commercialization. Company leaders focused on bringing new technologies to market involve teams in a host of entrepreneurial issues and commercialization strategies.
With the diversity of project sponsors, teams engage in various stages of the processes of moving ideas ‘from the bench to the bedside’ with similar outcomes: enhanced capacity for teamwork, cross-disciplinary learning, ability to deal with ambiguity, professional presentation skills, and leadership development.
