  <body><![CDATA[<p>At Georgia Tech, investing in research is a top priority. As part of that commitment, the Office of Industry Engagement — part of the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) — has developed four contract mechanisms that enable industry to engage with Georgia Tech researchers at all stages of R&amp;D.</p><p>Known as the "industry contract continuum," these agreements were crafted to streamline the contracting process and provide straightforward intellectual property terms for companies engaging in collaborative research.</p><p>The four contracting mechanisms are:</p><ul><li><strong>Basic Research</strong>: Explore fundamental challenges in a technical area</li><li><strong>Applied Research</strong>: Identify solutions to real-world challenges</li><li><strong>Demonstration</strong>: Improve an existing technology</li><li><strong>Specialized Testing</strong>: Test new and existing products</li></ul><p>Members of GTRC are available for town hall meetings with interested faculty to discuss the issues related to intellectual property, patenting, contracting, and non-disclosure agreements. To arrange for such a meeting, contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:jilda.garton@gtrc.gatech.edu">Jilda Garton</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:kevin.wozniak@gtrc.gatech.edu">Kevin Wozniak</a>.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
