University of California System: University of California, Santa Barbara(x)
With over $170 million in annual extramural funding, and over 500 active inventions, the University of California, Santa Barbara, enjoys a dynamic research environment. The UCSB Office of Technology & Industry Alliances (TIA) is here to help establish both research and license agreements that inspire and support collaboration among university researchers and our industry partners. It is TIA’s mission to build productive and effective relationships with all our industry partners.
The UCSB technology portfolio is unusual among universities because it is dominated by the engineering and physical sciences, with approximately sixty percent (60%) of our inventions disclosed between FY04 and FY06 stemming from the College of Engineering. From semiconductors and LEDs to the latest drug delivery and medical device technology, TIA understands the market s in which engineering-based technologies operate.
UCSB researchers are efficient in their use of research dollars. In FY07, UCSB generated one disclosure per $1.17 million in research expenditures – twice as productive as the university average of one disclosure per $2.0 million. Our centers are even more efficient, some of which average less than $375,000 in research expenditures per invention disclosure. This efficiency, when coupled with being ranked 14th among U.S. university in NSF funds received per faculty member and being ranked 10th among U.S. university in the total basic research funds received from the Department of Defense provides a rich foundation for innovation.
