The database includes data from 121 research institutions on 10 of the most common tech transfer positions. The resulting database includes salary statistics as well as institutional characteristics (region, office size, remote work options, incentive compensation) and individual characteristics (educational degree, gender, experience, number of direct reports).

Yes. Rather than the Salary Survey data being presented as a static report (PDF), you now have access to a user-friendly database that will allow you to create your own custom reports based on the positions and variables that matter most to you.

Protecting the privacy of your institution’s data—and preventing specific salary information from being accessed inappropriately—is something we take very seriously. That’s why the database platform’s default settings allow only those people who submitted Salary Survey data to see their own institution’s data when viewing reports. The majority of subscribers will only see aggregated data for the institutions within the comparison group they select. You can find examples of Salary Survey reports here: https://www.autm.net/AUTM/media/About-AUTM/Documents/Examples-of-AUTM-Salary-Survey-Reports.pdf

Because staffing challenges may differ for specific positions and types of institutions, tech transfer offices will find value in being able to create custom searches within the AUTM Salary Survey database for benchmarking against similar organizations.

Yes! Institutions that participated in the Salary Survey are eligible to purchase a subscription to the Salary Survey database for $100. Your institution’s subscription covers free access to most of the features within the Salary Survey database for anyone in your office. Submitters have been provided with a coupon code to apply for the discount. If your institution contributed to the Survey but you did not receive a coupon code, contact Jordana Bieze Foster.

It’s possible you might want another person at your institution to be able to see the same data that you see within the database. For that to happen, you will need to give AUTM permission to expand that person’s database access. If you would like to give permission to another person, please email Jordana Bieze Foster. Make sure to include the other person’s name and email address. You will be asked to confirm your approval at least once more before the other person’s access is expanded.

Check to be sure you are logged in to your AUTM account. If that doesn’t help, contact Jordana Bieze Foster.
