Technology Transfer Initiative
The Technology Transfer Initiative (TTi) is a multidisciplinary program developed by Purdue's school of Management in partnership with Purdue's
schools of Science, Engineering, and Agriculture. TTi's mission is to serve as a catalyst in promoting educational activities and programs
on innovation and technology transfer.
Four key program elements support TTi's mission:
1. Research funding is provided on a competitive basis to faculty interested in the innovation process, factors leading to success or failures
of new ventures, issues surrounding intellectual property rights, and other areas related to the commercialization of research or technically
based product ideas
2. Competitive grants support curriculum development for faculty interested in developing courses in support of TTi's mission.
3. The Innovation Realization Lab (IRL) matches MBA students from the Krannert School of Management with doctoral students from Purdue's
schools of Agriculture, Science, and Engineering in teams to analyze the commercial potential of the doctoral students' research. This NSF
funded program spans two years and includes required courses taken by the teams.
4. Business consulting services are provided to faculty groups working on new technologies and interested in exploring avenues for realizing
commercial value from their research.http://www.mgmt.purdue.edu/centers/tti/
