    Description:

    The Yale University Office of Cooperative Research (OCR) was founded in 1982 and charged with extending and expanding Yale University's interaction with the private sector. The duties of the OCR include oversight for patenting and licensing activities, university inventions, and contractual relationships between faculty and industry. OCR staff work with Yale researchers to identify inventions that may ultimately become commercial products and services useful to the public. OCR staff also engage in industrial partnerships to license Yale inventions. The Office of Cooperative Research helps launch several new ventures every year. OCR is currently investing through the Blavatnik Fund. The Blavatnik Fund for Innovation bridges the gap between innovative, early-stage life science research and successful development of high-impact biomedical products. Pilot grants are eligible for up to $100,000 and development grants are eligible for up to $300,000. OCR's venture capital investment is $3.7 billion from 2015 to 2021.
