Tech Transfer Salaries: Comprehensive Data and Analysis

Just Released! Tech Transfer Salaries: Comprehensive Data and Analysis

We are proud to announce the release of the 2025 Tech Transfer Salaries Report, an analysis of current documented salaries across TTOs in the US.

The report provides current pay rates for a wide range of institutions and analyzes how personal, educational, geographic (e.g., cost-of-living), and other factors impact salaries. The results demonstrate how education can be a strong determinant of pay, including both degrees earned and where one attends college.

This report also takes a completely different approach to collecting and analyzing salaries relative to past studies in the technology transfer industry. In the US, salaries of public universities and specific types of non-profits, such as research foundations, are reported publicly. It is a slow, manual process to collect and verify the information across 100s of sources, but one that pays strong dividends in the end.

To access this report, you need an Insider Level Membership which gives you access to unlimited TechPipeline Data + Surveys, unlimited webinars, TechInsight, TechEngage, unlimited training, and more!
