Technology Transfer Incentive Program
Request for Proposals Information

The Technology Transfer Incentive Program (TTIP) is intended to accelerate the commercialization of technology developed or enhanced at an institution of higher education by providing short-term State assistance to the Applicant Institution working in collaboration with a New York company partner to commercialize intellectual property or research from the Applicant Institution. Commercialization brings technology to market.

The TTIP statute requires that funds be provided to an institution of higher education. The intent of this funding and the primary goal of the program are not to further academic research but to accelerate commercialization of new technologies at New York companies within the State.

Other goals of the TTIP include creating other economic impacts in New York State by:

  • Helping companies bring new products and services to market;
  • Increasing federal, corporate and venture capital investments in companies and high-technology research and development; and
  • Expanding the research capabilities and economic impact of New York's institutions of higher education.

    General Eligibility

    Any institution of higher education, including community colleges, in New York State is eligible to submit up to two Proposals. An institution of higher education is an educational institution in New York State that offers post-secondary education and awards associates, bachelors, masters, and/or doctoral degrees and may also offer post-doctoral education.
