Wright State faculty are engaged in many diversified areas of research with resources to match. We are committed to effective technology commercialization, enabling Ohio to grow talent, industry and improve lives. Contact the Office of Technology Transfer for information on our technologies.


Sponsored Research

The Office of Technology Transfer works closely with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) in reviewing and negotiating industry sponsored research agreements. If an agreement deviates from the University’s standard intellectual property language, RSP consults with the Office of Technology Transfer to assist with the negotiation of terms with the industry partner.  A copy of Wright State’s sponsored research agreement template may be downloaded from the RSP Pre Award Forms and Templates page.

Industry partners interested in initiating a sponsored research agreement should contact the RSP Pre Award staff.

If you have questions regarding an existing sponsored research agreement, please contact the RSP Post Award staff.
