“…11 In this report, we combine aspects of the technology-transfer approach described in Silberglitt et al with the logic-model framework to (1) establish a general definition of "successful technology transfer" that may be applied across the Defense Laboratory Enterprise (DLE) and (2) provide guidance for developing measures to monitor technology transfer. While there has been considerable interest in improving the effectiveness of technology transfer, including recommendations to increase the use of logic models in measuring technology transfer effectiveness, 12 to our knowledge no one has combined these concepts in this manner to develop a generalizable definition that can be applied across a broad set of organizations with differing missions and operations.…”

• The key element of successful technology transfer is that program efforts must lead to a product that could lead to new military operations, changes in existing operations or procedures, or direct use by the warfighter.• Logic models can help the Department of Defense monitor and track technology transfer from laboratories to customers and assess efforts that may lead to capability improvements.• Our method describes the laboratory operations to help create a definition of "successful technology transfer" that may be applied across the Defense Laboratory Enterprise. Key findingsThe Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories are sources of new ideas and technologies that can provide military and capability advantages to the warfighter over U.S. adversaries. However, for that advantage to be realized, these new ideas and technologies almost always must be transferred from the laboratory to industry or other organizations capable of developing products or services. Over the years, federal organizations have made efforts-including creating offices dedicated to technology transfer-to accelerate the transfer of research findings and outputs to companies or other organizations. Still, there is not a universally accepted definition of successful technology transfer or guidance for monitoring transfer that can be applied across multiple laboratories or research organizations.This report describes a method that can be used to help the DoD monitor and track technology transfer from laboratories to customers and assess the success of efforts that may lead to capability improvements. Our method maps efforts associated with technology transfer into a logic model framework that describes the laboratory operations and can be used to create a definition of "successful technology transfer" that may be applied across the Defense Laboratory Enterprise (DLE). Our method also provides guidance for developing measures for monitoring successful technology transfer. Figure S.1 shows the elements of a generic logic model. The logic model is a framework that can be used to characterize and connect aspects of a research organization, beginning with the inputs that drive the day-to-day operations of the organization and continuing all the way through to its stated mission. Components on the left-hand side of the model are program efforts-elements under the direct control of the organization. Inputs include money, formal requirements, technical performance or capability specifications, staff, research equipment, and facilities. Activities include the conduct of research and development (R&D), the presentation of findings, and the registration of patents. Outputs may include scientific papers, reports, patents, and prototypes. Transfer activities might include the circulation of fact sheets, discussions with industry, and the licensing of patents. An example of intermediate customers would be other research laboratories or companies. Generally, program efforts lead to program effects, which are elements of the model that are outside the labor...

“…A transferência tecnológica entre universidades e empresas tem sido um fator impulsionador de inovações tecnológicas e também da competitividade das próprias empresas em diversos países (Bozeman, Rimes, & Youtie, 2015;Siegel, Waldman, & Link, 2003). A consolidação dos Escritórios de Transferência Tecnológica (ETTs) tornou-se realidade no mundo ao longo das últimas décadas, principalmente após a aprovação da lei de inovação dos Estados Unidos, conhecida como Lei BayhDole Act, instituída na década de 1980 (Hayter & Rooksby, 2016;Kruglianskas & Matias-Pereira, 2005).…”

Resumo Este estudo tem por objetivo investigar os intervenientes do processo de transferência tecnológica em uma universidade pública, analisando sua agência de inovação sob o ponto de vista da proteção de propriedade intelectual. A estratégia de Estudo de Caso único foi adotada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores da agência e com 13 pesquisadores que participam ativamente do processo, com coleta de documentos e observação direta. Como resultado, verificou-se que a institucionalização da agência foi precedida de uma série de estímulos governamentais de apoio à inovação e de parcerias realizadas com outras instituições. Identificaram-se seus intervenientes, entre os quais as principais barreiras estão: sobrecarga de atividades, desconhecimento e desinteresse dos pesquisadores, deficiências no processo de redação da patente e carência de capital humano nas atividades da agência, burocracia e falta de suporte pela universidade. Já entre os facilitadores, estão: a experiência acadêmica por parte dos pesquisadores, a divulgação da cultura de propriedade intelectual, a terceirização do processo de redação da patente por parte da agência e de sua institucionalização pela universidade. Os pesquisadores são motivados a engajarem-se no processo de transferência tecnológica principalmente pela consciência sobre a relevância de proteger as descobertas, pelo acesso a recursos para pesquisa, pelos ganhos econômicos e pelo prestígio acadêmico.
