Role of the Office of Commercialization and Industry Engagement

The OCIE also encourages interaction with the industrial and public sectors and communicates contract and grant research opportunities to researchers. The Manager is here to help you, whether you're a researcher, business representative, or other interested party, to access research opportunities.
