The mission of the VA Technology Transfer Program (TTP) is to facilitate the commercialization of VA inventions to benefit Veterans and the American public. This video provides a brief overview of the key roles VA TTP plays in protecting and commercializing VA research. Through patent protection, strategic licensing, and industry partnerships, VA TTP bridges the gap between VA laboratory discoveries and real-world applications. VA research has produced landmark innovations, including the cardiac pacemaker, the nicotine patch, and advanced prosthetics, that have transformed modern medicine and improved countless lives. By safeguarding intellectual property and enabling commercial development, VA TTP ensures that federally funded research delivers meaningful, measurable returns to Veterans, taxpayers, and the American public.
