Sponsored Research and Consulting
Companies can sponsor research projects carried out by Jacobs School faculty and students, or industry can work with faculty on joint proposals funded by federal and state agencies. Faculty members are also available, on their own time, to serve as professional consultants to corporations.
Once you've made an agreement with your faculty partner on the scope of the project, the goals and budget, the faculty member will work with his/her department's business office to negotiate details of the research agreement.More information on research agreements »
