CSUSB ITTN | The California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) Integrated Technology Transfer Network (ITTN) Entrepreneurship Fellows Program
The Integrated Transfer Technology Network is an intensive education program in entrepreneurship for graduate-level science students from HBCUs and PBIs developed in collaboration with California State University San Bernardino, the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship, and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Scientific knowledge can be used to identify promising technologies. Commercializing and sustaining new technologies requires a different skills set. The ITTN advanced study and mentoring program will help emerging scientists learn how to move from "mind to market" by merging existing science expertise with innovative entrepreneurial approaches.
The program's goal is to help students with degrees in the STEM areas to gain the skills in entrepreneurship, technology transfer and commercialization which will enable them to make advances in the sciences, and contribute to their schools and their communities in a meaningful way.
The first class of ten fellows, graduates of Hampton University, Voorhees College, North Carolina Central University, Central State University, Texas Southern University, Jackson State University, Florida A&M University and Bowie State University, began the program in January of 2006. Each fellow receives 28 credit hours toward an MBA in entrepreneurship and is assigned to work with senior scientists at the Army Research Laboratories in the Washington, D.C.
