University of Virginia

The University of Virginia is a comprehensive public research university with broad academic programs and a robust research enterprise. Integration with UVA Health enables clinical translation, large-scale trials, and data-driven care in an academic medical setting. A university-operated discovery park, North Fork—A UVA Discovery Park, co-locates companies with faculty and government partners, while participation in the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing gives access to production-scale testbeds and joint industry projects. Research is supported by competitive federal funding, including NIH, NSF, DOE, and DoD. The Licensing & Ventures Group manages IP, licensing, and startup formation to speed commercialization.
