IP-LINK™ – IP Licensing, Innovation, Network and Knowledge

IP-LINK™ is a Global IP discovery application that connects innovators, researchers, startups, and technology transfer offices with licensable intellectual property worldwide. By aggregating university technologies, research-institution portfolios, and related funding opportunities into a single searchable platform, it eliminates the need to navigate multiple disconnected databases. Users can quickly identify technologies of interest, uncover complementary research, explore licensing and collaboration pathways, and move more efficiently from idea to opportunity—helping accelerate the translation of innovation into real-world impact.

Our Education

Our education offerings are designed to demystify the funding process for researchers and scientific startups. Through a growing library of recorded webinars, in-person workshops, and live training sessions, we share practical, insider-level guidance on grant writing, funding strategy, and agency expectations. Sessions are led by experienced ScienceDocs grant writers and former government insiders who have reviewed, managed, and awarded competitive grants across major federal agencies.

These programs reflect the same team-based, expert-driven approach we bring to our client work. Delivered online or on site, sessions emphasize real proposal examples, reviewer pitfalls, and strategic decision-making—helping participants pursue funding efficiently.
