@uwmresearch This site is a toolkit for securing corporate research funding. It was developed by Mark Doremus, Technology Transfer Manager at UWM. It's his job to help you negotiate research contracts with the private sector. Some schools/colleges also have support staff available to help with submissions to corporate sponsors.
Only essential concepts are covered here. Links to other, more detailed, Web pages are provided if you're looking for information that's beyond the scope of this site.
