Proposal Strategy

Every great research idea starts somewhere, and sometimes you just need a little guidance to move from concept to actionable research. At OCII, we鈥檙e here to help you refine your proposal and connect with the right funding opportunities.

Our support includes:

• Funding Strategy: Together, we鈥檒l look at your research plan through the lens of funding agencies and help refine it to make it as competitive as possible.

Technology Assessment

Do you have a research idea, technology, or solution that could have real-world impact? We鈥檙e here to help you assess its potential and explore how it could be applied outside the academic world.

Our services in technology assessment include:

• Market Readiness: We help you assess the potential of your technology in real-world applications and identify its market value.
• Intellectual Property (IP): If your idea or technology is commercially viable, we鈥檒l guide you through protecting your intellectual property, including copyrights, patents, and trademarks.
• External Expertise: If needed, we鈥檒l help connect you with experts who can evaluate your technology from an outside perspective and offer valuable insight.

We鈥檒l help you look at your work through the lens of both academia and industry to determine its potential for broader impact.

Commercialization Support

Taking your research to market doesn鈥檛 have to be a daunting process. We鈥檙e here to help you explore different options and find the best path to bring your ideas to life outside the lab.

Some of the commercialization options we can help with include:

• Technology Licensing: If your research results in a product or solution with market potential, licensing could be a great option. This means another company or organization pays you for the right to use your idea for a set period of time. You can continue focusing on your research, while you and the University earn royalties from the license.
• Spin-Out Companies: If you鈥檙e interested in forming your own company to develop and market your innovation, we can help guide you through the process. Starting a spin-out requires time, funding, and a strong entrepreneurial drive. You鈥檒l need access to financing, connections to potential markets, and expertise in areas like accounting, legal, marketing, human resources, and IT. We can help you navigate these challenges and connect you with the resources and networks needed to bring your business idea to life.
• Selling Intellectual Property (IP): If licensing isn鈥檛 the right fit, we can guide you through selling your IP outright, receiving compensation while allowing another party to take your innovation forward.

We鈥檒l work with you to find the best approach to move your research from concept to real-world application.
