Transition to Practice (TTP) Bootcamp

Abstract: Every PI would like to see their research make an impact in the real world. Although funding Transition to Practice (TTP)-worthy projects remains a Federal cybersecurity priority across multiple funding agencies, many PI’s are unclear about the logistics and means by which to transition their research into an operational cybersecurity context. Transitioning research doesn’t always equate to leaving academia to form a start-up company. A multitude of alternatives exist, such as licensing the intellectual property or finding a suitable developer to carry the idea forward. This session will be hosted by Becky Bace, an expert in moving basic cybersecurity research into real world systems.  Becky has worked in academia, at a federal agency, and at venture capital firms. She’ll take you through the basics of how and why you should want to get your research into the hands of those who can use it!
