This manuscript focuses on organizational objectives, decision criteria and performance of biomedical technology commercialization programs as a context for understanding university technology maturation programs. The primary contention is that university technology maturation programs are not different in kind from public and private technology development programs, and the difference from these broader programs is primarily a difference of degree related to aspects of the university research context.The University of Colorado (CU) has developed three different programs within its overall Proof of Concept (POC) funding process. Although the CU POC program relates to all areas of university technology, for this manuscript data will be presented from three program elements solely related to biomedical technologies (therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices and to a lesser extent, tools and materials). In order to understand the objectives, decision criteria and performance of CU’s POC programs, it is important to understand how the program developed and evolved. Conclusions are provided in the form of lessons learned, and implications for university technology transfer practice. The main work on the topic is descriptive and primarily derived from practitioner reports and promotional literature (Johnson, 2005).
