Federal funding trends, including from NSF, DOE and ARPA agencies, indicate increasing interest in translational research – supporting the pathways for fundamental discoveries to have broader societal, economic or public impact. New funding programs might require researchers to demonstrate their research impact at the proposal stage through established partnerships with companies that signal market interest or investment, formal commitments like licensing agreements, and/or evidence of technology readiness levels. Researchers who build these industry partnerships in advance will have a critical edge in a competitive funding landscape.
The Office of Research Development will host a webinar series for U-M researchers that explains why and how to build industry partnerships that advance mutual R&D goals. Webinars will take place noon-1:30 pm each day; calendar invites will be sent upon registration.
February 25: Discovery to Innovation - Gain a practical framework for deciding when to engage industry, how to demonstrate impact credibly and which funding mechanisms align with research maturing and scholarly goals.
March 26: Industry Engagement for Faculty: From Early Signals to Funded Partnerships - Learn meaningful engagement strategies across the research lifecycle, emphasizing alignment with academic incentives, research integrity and appropriate funding mechanisms.
April 9: Building Industry Partnerships that Last: Whom to Talk to, What to Ask - Learn how to identify the right industry counterparts, structure early conversations to surface meaningful research and translational opportunities and set expectations that can evolve into sustained collaboration.
