*INTRODUCTION*****

Now on its fifth run, the Research Commercialization Introductory Course is
a very popular online course designed to help science and engineering
researchers better understand how research commercialization works. Over
4000 researchers from across the US take the course each time it is offered.
****

Research commercialization involves taking articles, documentation,
know-how, patents, and copyrights, which are created during research
activities and getting them to users and patients for real societal
impacts. ****

In some cases, commercialization involved taking patents based on the
research and licensing them to a company. This usually involves also having
the researchers consult to the company. In other cases, commercialization
involves forming of creating a startup and applying to federally funded
commercialization programs. In all cases, though, research
commercialization typically involves defining the nature of the research
being commercialized (e.g., in a patent or intellectual property
agreement), establishing a commercial relationship with another party
(e.g., employment, a sale or license), and negotiating a contract (e.g.,
compensation).****

** **

*WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?*****

The Research Commercialization Course is recommended for all science,
engineering and medical researchers in public or private research
institutions (e.g., grad students, post-docs, and faculty). This is an
indispensable course for S&E grad students looking for jobs in the next
6-18 months.****
