Technology Transfer & Innovation Office

The Bowie State University Technology Transfer and Innovation Office aims to identify the high impact research and develop key resources for intellectual property management & protection, technology transfer and commercialization.

The Office is working closely with the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs, various research centers in the campus,  the Enterpreneurship & Innovation Center and Economic Development Office to coordinate the effort to devise a strategy to support Bowie State in leveraging intellectual property, which includes evaluating university assets and associated intellectual property policies, processes and ecosystems. This strategy will allow Bowie State to focus on areas for improvement and opportunities, engaging, educating and training faculty, students and other university stakeholders.
