Tulane University has great resources for generating awareness of innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) through seminars supported by the School of Business, Bioinnovation, and the Biomedcial Engineering department. Furthermore, the tech transfer office (OTT) is readily available to aid students in the first steps to securing and implementing their innovative ideas. Classes at Tulane University such as SCEN 4800 and SCEN 6000 assist both undergraduate and graduate students to realize their specific potential in beginning an innovative and entrepreneurial venture. Local venues in the New Orleans area such as NOBIC, Propellor, Idea Village, and New Orleans BioDistrict offer support by providing seed money and incubator space for an established innovative idea. Thus, Tulane University has great resources for an Innovation and Entrepreneurship landscape in the areas of perceived, potential, and reframing strategies. However, the campus can improve in two areas that are critical in bridging potential and reframing strategies: applied and realized schemes. "Applied" refers to the student utilizing their entrepreneurial insight to explore potential of the innovative idea, while "realized" refers to the student committing to an innovative idea and translates it to a liscensed technology, venture startup, or attains legal status via   intellectual property protection.
