UMSL Research Awards

Awards also are given to help faculty in all disciplines maintain an active research program, even if external funding is difficult to obtain. Awards are intended to promote research innovation and the long-term success of an applicant’s program rather than be a vehicle for student support.
Award amount: $1,000 to $12,500 | Deadline: Feb. 16, 2021 (5pm). | Guidelines | Form

The Office of IP Management & Commercialization, also known as "Technology Transfer" or "TTO," assists faculty in protecting and bringing their research discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or copyrightable, to market.
So, why do universities engage in Technology Transfer? Watch this quick video by the Association of University Technology Managers:
| |
Your tech transfer staff work to analyze the technology regarding intellectual property protection and the market need to determine whether patent applications should be filed and/or copyrights should be registered. For those inventions that can be protected (and even some that cannot), we then look for potential industry partners, which could include established companies and/or startup ventures, to license and commercialize the discovery.
We also process all Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and research-related fee-for-service agreements, among others, for UMSL.
Please visit our website for more information or to disclose an invention. Feel free to visit us at 346 Woods Hall. Email: wilgerst@umsl.edu
