If UIDP can develop a successful prototype, it will then seek external funding to make the tool available at first to UIDP members, and then eventually as widely as possible to interested academic and industrial organizations in the US.

UIDP unveiled the beta version of the tool, called TurboNegotiator, to attendees of its tri-annual meeting held last week at the National Academies of Science in Washington, DC.

A non-profit coalition of US universities and companies, UIDP was founded in 2006 through the National Academies to improve and expand collaborative partnerships between academia and industry.
