Through this 18-credit program, students develop the capacity to identify commercially or socially viable products and learn how to bring them to market through a new venture or within an existing organization.&nbsp;</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">The faculty at Loyola University Maryland also need greater encouragement to pursue I&E ventures in their research. &nbsp;Before the professors are tenured their research is scientifically based, with papers and theses following. &nbsp;Once the professor is tenured a contract is set in place for further research, but at present very few of these contracts lead to entrepreneurial research. &nbsp;A trend is in being established for more accountable and funded research. &nbsp;However, until professors on Loyola’s campus are supported in innovation and creativity based studies, a key aspect of the I&E environment on campus will still be lacking. Currently, Another program that promotes faculty innovation and entrepreneurship is the 2020 cohort Hauber program. This is working on developing a plan for the development of program that faculty members can partner with a student to conduct research center on campus over the summer. This opportunity allows staff members and students to promote collaborate and produce new research. This allows for the progression of innovation and entrepreneurship for the staff and students alike.</span>
