Research to Impact (R2I) provides services that:

  • Connect researchers and innovators to on- and off-campus resources to advance their ideas to implementation, 
  • Educate and support students, faculty, and community innovators in the process of intellectual property protection, commercialization, and licensing, and 
  • Foster economic development through business partnerships and startup formation.

Research to Impact’s services extend beyond technology development and invention. We look forward to discussing and supporting the advancement of your ideas towards implementation.
