Our new I-to-I program provides tools and training to support researchers to translate their fundamental research to the marketplace and have their solutions benefit society. Through this 10-week training program offered during the summer, researchers can reduce the time to translate a promising idea from the laboratory to the marketplace as they will acquire the mindset, knowledge, and skills necessary to translate their knowledge into technology commercialization and startup ventures.
The teaching curriculum integrates;
