Industry Research Partnerships

CRISP Industry Research Partnerships is a dedicated resource to enable the success and growth of industry-sponsored and industry-partnered research for UW-Madison’s College of Letters and Science. Working with PI’s, centers, institutions and center-like units, we partner to:

Industry-sponsored Research – As industries continue to increase in speed and competitiveness, the importance of differentiation and innovation has brought an increase in industry sponsored research. The ability to partner with thought-leaders on breakthrough publications, discoveries and forward-looking collaborations has grown. These direct partnerships for sponsored research enable access to real-world problems, data, facilities, industry expertise, scalable processes and more, with the opportunity to develop research that impacts a global audience. We are excited to be bridge that connects these two worlds and enables these opportunities. 

Industry-partnered Research – Granting organizations continue to increase the value of commercialization and translation-to-impact of funded research. For example, ARPA-E grants now require the execution of a technology-to-market strategy. Industry partners offer a mutually beneficial opportunity to create impactful partnerships that combine discovery and successful commercialization. We are excited to be a dedicated partner in exploring industry-partnered research opportunities as well as supporting the success of existing partnerships.
