What We Do
Staffed by scientists and IP experts with industry experience, the Office for Research is dedicated to transforming research at Rutgers into products, services, and partnerships for the public good, generating value for the University and New Jersey. We do this through technology transfer, guiding your research from proof of concept through patenting, licensing, and commercialization, while also evaluating the potential for a startup as a vehicle to bring your innovations to the market. If a startup option is selected, we will assist you with the planning and development that lead to a spin-out of your innovation. We will also provide mentoring, access to early-stage seed funding, support in obtaining dilutive/non-dilutive funding, assistance with product and business development, and connection to industry and potential business founders.
