Differences between how men and women fare in doctoralprograms has only recently begun to attract attention. For example, Lazarus, Ritter, andAmbrose2 claim that many women meet “invisible barriers” that make the doctoral workeven more demanding. The barriers and the system are unknown to most women becauseof their marginal status in the system, with less access than men to information andcontacts. Even when engineering departments welcome women, they may later

have identified that women tend toengage in technology transfer at a much lower rate than men. However, a multitude ofprograms, many of which now focus directly on women, exist to help researchers transition froman academic laboratory into business ventures around that technology. Not all of these programsfollow the same philosophy, although all involve teaching business acumens to technicalresearchers. This paper strove to explain, via individual panelists responses, informationresources, educational training, and support programs to help guide women into the researchcommercialization arena such that their research gains wider exposure and visible impact.
