National Academy of Inventors

Twice a year, TLA submits nominees to the National Academy of Inventors for consideration. Through rigorous criteria, the Academy honors two categories of inventors: Sr. Members and Fellows.

Tech Launch Arizona, in partnership with RII Research Development, manages this process on behalf of the university. If you are considering a nomination or want to learn how our team might support your process, contact Paul Tumarkin, Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications, at pault@tla.arizona.edu.
