OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to develop national acceptance of general principles governing intellectual property negotiations between U.S. universities and industry, thereby allowing the once-healthy relationship between education/training and commercial/economic development to reestablish itself in the U.S.

APPROACH

In this project, GUIRR is the convener and facilitator for a joint effort between the Industrial Research Institute and the National Council of University Research Administrators to bring about systemic behavioral change in the approach of universities and industry to often-contentious intellectual property negotiations.

To date, three Congresses of about 30 invited delegates from university, industry, and government have developed a set of guiding principles for university-industry research partnerships, and are beginning to develop the toolkits to implement these principles. This project is currently in an outreach phase; queries from the public are welcomed (mmayo@nas.edu; 202-334-1706).

This project is supported by the Kauffman Foundation, with additional support from the Sloan Foundation and the Wallace Coulter Foundation, Boeing, Extrude-Hone (now Extrude-One), Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft.
