Industry Partnerships
UM Ventures engages industry through the development of corporate sponsored research agreements and clinical trial agreements. Sponsored research agreements allow companies to take advantage of UM resources by funding research in UM laboratories by UM scientists. The research project and budget are determined by the company and the UM scientists and the company receives data in exchange for the research funding. When proprietary intellectual property arises out of sponsored research, UM seeks to provide the sponsoring company with rights to develop the intellectual property for commercial purposes via a license agreement.
