Federal Technology Transfer- Stakeholder Expectations

The goal of any successful technology transfer office (TTO) is to be responsive to the expectations of its diverse stakeholders while at the same time facilitating the mission of its agency. The TTOs engage with both internal (laboratories, management, program offices) and external (companies, patient advocacy groups, entrepreneurs, collaborators) stakeholders to manage innovation and promote rapid technology transfer. This Panel will present perspectives of diverse stakeholders of a Federal TTO and how they would assess the performance or success of a TTO.
