Program Overview

The Invention to Impact (I-to-I) Training Program uses experiential learning to help 不良研究所 graduate students and their faculty supervisors gain insight into:

  • technology commercialization
  • entrepreneurship
  • industry requirements and challenges

I-to-I provides tools and training to support researchers to translate their research to the marketplace and have their solutions benefit society. The program imparts an evidence-based methodology that students and professors can use for the rest of their careers, and it also enables the transformation of inventions to impact.聽This program allows student participants to receive聽CCR recognition聽as it is an approved Enriched Educational Opportunities (EEO) program.聽
