A single, structured repository that tracks a research project from submission through review, approval, and commercialization — built for Offices of Research, Innovation & Commercialization to manage without the spreadsheet sprawl.
Offices of Research, Innovation & Commercialization sit at the center of a university's research output — reviewing project proposals, filing patents, and moving promising ideas toward licensing or a spinout. That work is usually split across spreadsheets, email threads, and paper files that don't talk to each other.
The ORIC Database System replaces that patchwork with one structured place to log a project, attach its documents, move it through review and approval, and track it into the commercialization pipeline. Every record keeps its full history, so nothing gets lost between a submission and a signed license.
We built and maintain the system for TCCI's partner institutions, with each ORIC office managing its own records while staying visible within the wider research ecosystem.
Log every research proposal with its investigators, department, funding source, and current stage.
Track filings from disclosure to grant, with statuses and supporting documents attached to each case.
Move a project through licensing or spinout stages and see exactly where each one stands.
Route submissions to reviewers, collect decisions, and keep an audit trail of every approval.
Generate summaries by department, funding stream, or status for annual reports and audits.
Give ORIC staff, reviewers, and researchers exactly the view and permissions their role needs.
A researcher logs a project or invention disclosure with the required documents.
ORIC staff route it to the right reviewers and record their decisions.
Approved records move forward automatically; rejected ones stay logged with reasons.
Patents and licensing efforts are tracked as the project moves toward market.
Status and history roll up into reports the ORIC office can pull anytime.
We'll walk your ORIC team through the system and show how your current project and patent records would look inside it.
