Primary Research Group has published Global Higher Education Technology Transfer Office Staffing & Compensation, ISBN 1-57440-192-0.

This 54-page report is derived from our popular Global Higher Education Technology Transfer Office Benchmarks (ISBN 1-57440-167-X), an extensive study based on information provided by 35 university technology transfer offices in the US, the UK, and Europe. This condensed incarnation focuses solely on the staffing, salary, and budget concerns of these offices, providing extensive departmental employment statistics for 2009, 2010, and 2011, including total spending on direct office salaries and allocations for outside personnel serving in the technology transfer office. With over 100 tables broken out by country, enrollment, technological area, institution, and number of employees, the report sheds light on the changing sizes and budgets of these offices.

Just a few of the many findings from this report are:

• Major universities employed a mean of 11.67 individuals in 2009 in the tech transfer office, nearly three times the number of those in both small and specialized colleges and universities
• The median overall budget for tech transfer offices in 2010 was $881,663
• The mean number of years served by the chief administrative officer at the offices surveyed was 6.79 years
• Employees' salaries will continue to rise globally, as projected by a 2.52% rise from 2010 to 2011
