The NCOE has somewhat limited but very excellent research capabilities. In addition to its staff resources within its strategic partners, the NCOE has access to a proprietary database of over 1,400 skilled professional consultants and researchers on who have extensive expertise in a wide range of topics that are of interest and concern to centers of excellence. Contract services are available on a fee-for-service/project basis, but there is no charge to review your research needs and discuss options.

Strategic Funding Initiative
The NCOE has identified an important need for additional federal resources to match state investments in their technology commercialization programs. The NCOE will take the lead in developing the best political approach to accomplish this task. If the strategic funding initiative currently being developed as part of the GAMBIT Center starts to generate strong support, this may become the major focus of the NCOE in the near term.

NCOE Research Services
If you feel that any activity you are currently involved in might benefit from involving one or more NCOE research services, please contact NCOE to explore the possibilities. There is no charge for this initial review service. An appropriate contact and follow-up will be arranged. As with all NCOE consulting, there is absolutely no obligation on your part to enter into a contract as the result of simply investigating the possible use of NCOE-arranged professional services. Your contact and other data will be held in strictest confidence by NCOE and its affiliated professionals.
