External Partnerships
The office plans to expand its external partnerships, aiming to increase efforts to partner with corporations on research projects, and boost corporate recruitment of Duke graduates.
R. Sanders Williams, the interim vice president for research, said in a statement that the RTC will play an important role in raising funds to support endowed professorships that will benefit faculty for pursuing entrepreneurial efforts and their research and teaching. The office will also provide additional flexible research spaces for important work, said Williams. “We need space for research that is still not-for-profit Duke research, but would then become an idea that is competitive in the marketplace,” Williams said. “We need flexibility and speed.”
