Tech Transfer Basics for Faculty and Students
Wednesday, Dec. 5, 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Memorial Union Rose room
Tech Transfer is the process by which university research can be transferred into the public sector through commercial development. As patents or other intellectual property protection and business agreements are critical to commercial product development, the NDSU Tech Transfer Office works to ensure these aspects of the university’s intellectual assets are managed appropriately. Faculty, in particular, should plan to attend to learn more about the process. Presented by the Technology Transfer Office.

All About Grant Budgets – Pre and Post Award
Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Memorial Union Rose room
This presentation will describe the grant proposal process and cover best practices for grant budgets, with the goal of making the process easier and more understandable. Staff members will offer advice to streamline grant budget development, improve grants management and prevent problems once a grant proposal becomes a grant award. Presented by Sponsored Programs Administration and Grant and Contract Accounting.

COS Pivot Monthly Labs
Tuesday, Dec. 4, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., EML room 377 and Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2013, 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., EML room 377
