Funding agencies are placing greater emphasis on the application of basic science to create impact, resulting in moving innovations to commercialization and/or to benefit society. To help faculty at all levels, this discussion will be the first in a series of presentation on engaging with industry to increase funding opportunities, open new avenues for application of your discoveries, attracting and retaining corporate members to your centers and consortium, and other relevant topics. This initial discussion will briefly touch on upon resources available to connect you to industry and conclude with a query to identify industry engagement topics that would be of interest and support your work.
