Did You Know? 💡 When budgeting for personnel on SBIRs and STTRs, “... companies can charge reasonable rates defined as 'what a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business would be willing to pay.'” What an insightful deep dive into one of the most overlooked keys to federal funding success: compliance and financial management! We’re incredibly grateful to have hosted the renowned Michael Tentnowski, whose expertise and practical advice gave attendees a clearer path to success in securing and managing SBIR/STTR grants.

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Lehigh University, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University & Florida State University to speak about the NSF funded work (Grant # TIP-2430589) around innovation & entrepreneurship by university faculty known as PTIE (Promotion & Tenure - Innovation & Entrepreneurship). Thank you to all my wonderful hosts and to all the amazing faculty, staff, administrators and students that I had the opportunity to speak with during my visits. You can read more about my visit to FSU in the article with this post. I look forward to visiting Montana State University-Bozeman & University of Nevada-Las Vegas later this month to speak about the same topics. Universities do amazing work each and every day to make our world a better place - both through the students they help to train and mentor to be the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs that drive our innovation economy and the faculty that seek societal impacts beyond the traditional publication and grant paradigm. Thank you to Erwin Gianchandani & Pradeep Fulay in the TIP Directorate at NSF for their support over the years and to all our amazing partners in the PTIE coalition and beyond for helping to create what Almesha L. Campbell, Ph.D., RTTP, HonNAI has called "a movement" to expand the breadth of impact from our universities. None of this would have been possible without the visionary leadership at Oregon State University. Brian Wall, Karl Mundorff, Jana Bouwma-Gearhart, Julie Risien, Irem Y. Tumer, Tuba Ozkan-Haller, Edward Feser, Jayathi Murthy and so many other folks at OSU made this possible. #GoBeavs

Thank you to Oregon State University Professor Rich G. Carter for sharing your insight on Promotion & Tenure – Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Florida State University! “Dr. Rich Carter is a true partner,” said Vice President for Research Stacey Patterson. “He is a national leader in the conversation around innovation and entrepreneurship.” Carter is the principal investigator of a National Science Foundation (NSF) program to facilitate the work universities are doing in the entrepreneurship space and encourage them to incorporate entrepreneurship and innovation into the promotion and tenure process. Many faculty members get into research wanting to have a positive impact on society through their work. Creating new products or companies is one way to do that. “Remember these impacts are all across your colleges, all across the university,” Carter said.
