Industry

The CUNY CAT serves as a portal into the scientific and engineering resources of The City University of New York. The CAT leadership team has access to university faculty and researchers from all campuses and disciplines. If your company or business is seeking assistance with technical issues or with new technology, one call to the CUNY CAT will begin the process of connecting you with the university people and laboratories best positioned to help you.

Assistance to industry can take many forms, including:

• Identification of existing university technology that is available for licensing
• Introduction to university researchers working in your areas of interest
• Access to the university’s advanced laboratories and high-performance computing facilities
• Engaging in scientific and engineering research and development directly applicable to your requirements

When there is a decision to fund work at the university, we work with you to develop individualized research and service agreements, including statements of work, budgets, key personnel, milestones and deliverables.

The CUNY CAT may contribute additional funds to enhance the amount of work that benefits the company. Other benefits to industry include reduced overhead charged to industry-supported projects, proposal assistance to compete for government grants and contracts and training of company personnel in the use of advanced technology.
