Book a call
Book a working call with the research team.
Bring a topic, a deadline, or just a question. You'll talk to the people who would actually perform your R&D — and if we're the right research institution for your topic, we can have teaming signed in hours.
STTR deadlines don't move, and teaming is where small businesses lose weeks. The earlier we talk — even before you've locked a topic — the more we can do.
Prefer email? Open the scheduler in a new tab. A short prep note after you book keeps the call on substance.

Why the call is worth your time
You leave with more than you came in with.
It's a working conversation, not a pitch. Even if we're not your research institution, you'll leave with a clearer path.
A real technical read on your topic
You'll talk with the people who would actually perform the research — the named research lead on your project, not a sales rep. Bring a topic, a draft, or a problem and get an engineer's take on the approach.
A straight answer on RI fit — fast
If TDIF is the right research institution for your topic, we can have a teaming agreement signed fast — within hours when your deadline requires it. If a university lab is the better fit, we'll tell you that too, and help you find it.
A plan that de-risks Phase II
Our Phase I work is built to carry forward: a named research lead, pre-set Phase II terms where it helps, and a 0% claim on your IP — by design.
Who this call is for
Two ways in. One conversation.
Book the same time either way — the first question when you schedule sets us up to lead with what matters to you.
