Technology Transfer Consulting Service

The College of Charleston seeks an external consultant to provide technology‑transfer consulting services that will support the development of institutional processes, policies, documentation, and training related to intellectual property (IP) and commercialization, primarily under the SACT grant from the South Carolina Research Authority. The work is structured as three consecutive one‑year engagements (base year plus two optional years) with a total budget of $75,000 ($25,000 per year). Key responsibilities include building technology‑transfer infrastructure, evaluating invention disclosures, advising on IP strategy, facilitating industry engagement, and delivering training and templates for university‑company and university‑university collaborations. • Deliver a phased, deliverable‑driven roadmap covering initiation, IP policy review, workflow documentation, training creation, and final integration. • Provide hourly‑rate based pricing; cost ceiling $25,000 per fiscal year, with payments tied to acceptance of each phase’s deliverables. • Maintain regular communication (e.g., bi‑weekly progress meetings) and be prepared to adjust phase timing to stay within the annual budget cap.
