Technology Transfer Office

The UW technology transfer team helps university innovators achieve social impact. 

We work with industry, government, and nonprofit organizations to translate university innovations in useful programs, tools, inventions, products, and services that help build social and economic prosperity in Wyoming and beyond. 

The technology transfer team reviews innovation disclosures, conducts impact assessments, engages in protection and management of UW intellectual property, and charts the path towards economic and social impact.   

UW innovators should reach out to the TTO if you create an innovation that may have commercial applications or if they are contacted by a company to license an innovation, get research materials, create a startup company, sponsor research in your laboratory, or work collaboratively with you on a research project. 

Submitting an abstract, poster, or paper soon?

It is critical to reach out to the technology transfer team before public disclosure as it allows for the preservation of your full rights.

What is an “Innovation Disclosure”?

An innovation disclosure is a form used to report new and useful creations and inventions. Innovations can include educational content or programs, new models, methods or discoveries, and useful biological and non-biological materials. 

If you’ve created something or have an idea for creating something that can be useful to society, file an Innovation Disclosure and work with us to help put your innovation to use FILE AN INNOVATION DISCLOSURE.

UW Technology Transfer and the National Science Foundation

UW is among the first universities in the nation to receive an NSF ART: Accelerating the Translation of Research Program Award. The technology transfer team is leading this effort.

The goal of the ART grant is to build capacity and infrastructure at U.S. institutions of higher education, and to enhance their role in regional innovation ecosystems. The program focuses on user-inspired translational research; a core component of ART is the Seed Translational Research Projects (STRP) and exists to provide both funding to research with strong translational potential, as well as to serve as a mechanism for training and capacity building.

The team also works closely with two other transformative NSF programs: Regional Innovation Engine’s Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine and the NSF I-Corps™ Program.
