INDUSTRY MEMBERSHIP
Industry membership in the BMES ERC provides funds to leverage grant-funded research enhancing and supplementing member companies’ own research and development. The cost of BMES Industry senior membership is $25,000 per year, in addition to any directed research funding, often at a reduced overhead of 30% indirects. Newly formed companies have the opportunity to join the BMES ERC at the Technology Membership level for $5,000 per year. The BMES ERC is scrupulous in protecting all intellectual property and proprietary data we generate with member companies.
BMES ERC Industry membership agreements are comprehensively structured to protect intellectual property rights and clearly state fees, benefits, and intellectual property policies. For a copy of the agreement, please contact Dr. Sean Caffey, caffey@usc.edu
