Abstract: Technology transfer (TT) from academia to industry is one of the key components that is required in the translation of basic research discoveries into commercial opportunities that benefit humanity. This paper examines the TT process at four premier universities and research institutions across the USA: Harvard University, Emory University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and The Scripps Research Institute. In this inaugural publication in a series of related publications studying multiple aspects of TT, we develop a variety of initial metrics and ratios measuring critical factors contributing to the success of TT and provide a generic model that can address certain bottlenecks in the process and enhance its efficiency.
