The CTTC Faculty Advisory Committee is comprised of leading researchers from Vanderbilt University who were brought together to help maximize the effectiveness of CTTC in providing top-quality commercialization services to inventors. This faculty-led group is structured to have direct and regular impact on the operations of CTTC and serves as a sounding board for new initiatives and existing programs.
To date, the FAC has provided a framework for returning inventions, created principles by which inventors should be treated, championed new programs for SBIR/STTR support, provided guidance on topics such as conflict of issue, and more. As issues and projects are vetted by the Faculty Advisory Committee, we will summarize the outcomes in Tech Connect – CTTC’s bi-weekly publication.
