University of Northern Colorado

The University of Northern Colorado is a comprehensive public university in Greeley with an applied, student‑centered ethos. Industry collaboration is enabled by university‑run health and community clinics that provide real‑world environments for service and partnership. Experiential learning is formalized through required professional internships in select programs and through longstanding connections to the region’s small‑business and economic development ecosystem. The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs streamlines proposals, compliance, and partnership onboarding and supports competitively funded projects from federal, state, and foundation sources. A dedicated technology transfer function within the research office assists with IP, licensing, and startup pathways.
