Income stemming from research hits $7.1 million despite the economic downturn
An economy deep in recession didn’t prevent the University of Oregon from racking up another gain in technology transfer revenue this year.
For the 14th year in a row, the UO saw an uptick in what it earns from licensing inventions and services stemming from faculty research. Income for 2008-09 was $7.1 million, up from $6.8 million the year before.
The increase comes despite a bad economy and reduced state support for universities. Very little state revenue goes to support research, and what there is goes to a limited number of targeted programs.
