<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Villanova currently has an '''Office of Sponsored Research Program (OSRP) '''that has potential for expansion'''. '''This program helps students who are looking to patent an idea or license a product. They facilitate the process in accordance with the University policies for intellectual property, and assist in the student’s search for external resources and sponsors.</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Other resources where students can connect and collaborate include the '''Multidisciplinary Design Lab, '''which has a 3D printer available, and the '''Machine Shop''', which offers a number of machines and materials available for the development of prototypes. Also, the law school library has a meeting environment for students. Villanova plans to use KEEN Foundation grants to create an idea accelerator and a tinkerer’s lab in the future.</span>
