Corporate Partnership Program

The CPP - Corporate Partnership Program - provides business and industry the opportunity to conduct proprietary or open research with CTC’s professional staff and over one hundred Cornell faculty affiliates.

Research Opportunities

Collaborative research opportunities are available in many fields, including:

• Financial analytics and e-business
• Computational biology
• Computational genomics
• Computational materials

CPP client experience includes Fortune 1000 companies, such as Ford Motor Company, Merck, and Corning, as well as small businesses.

Industry-in-Residence

The CPP provides an industry-in-residence option for companies that would like to place personnel on the Cornell campus for educational and research explorations or to manage specific projects. Eastman Kodak, Xerox, and Stratus Computer are among the companies that have participated in this program.

Teaming Opportunities

CTC is interested in teaming or serving as a subcontractor to companies and universities pursing or fulfilling federal or private contracts. For example, CTC staff have consulted internationally on systems installations and software development for international oil and automotive companies, and plan to optimize equity portfolios for a major Wall Street firm. In basic biology, CTC, Cornell and its Weill Medical College have teamed with the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University in a $160 million project focused on three areas: the analysis of proteins coded by the Human Genome Project, computational biology, and cancer biology.
