The Salary Survey database enables you to view multiple positions across your selected comparison group or drill down into the details of a single position. You can use multiple data fields — from years experience to highest degree earned and location — to sift through the data and find the best-fit compensation. View sample reports here. 
The database includes data 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).
Protecting the privacy of your institution’s data—and preventing specific salary information from being accessed inappropriately—is something AUTM takes 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. View examples of Salary Survey reports.
