2Market Information Inc., publisher of Industry-Sponsored Research Management newsletter, has entered an affiliation agreement with University Industry Demonstration Partnership to provide access to the publication for all UIDP’s institutional member representatives.

Launched in March 2017, Industry-Sponsored Research Management is the first and only how-to newsletter designed to help universities attract more corporate-sponsored research and manage those partnerships effectively.  Not-for-profit UIDP is the leading membership organization for corporations and universities seeking to address issues impacting academic-industry collaboration and find better ways to partner and maximize their investments in those collaborations.

Under the affiliation agreement, all of UIDP’s member representatives will gain access to the publication via the organization’s members-only web portal, beginning with the January 2018 issue. Industry-Sponsored Research Management will continue to be offered to non-UIDP members on a subscription basis.

UIDP President Anthony Boccanfuso, commenting on the affiliation, noted that it is part of the organization’s continuing efforts to provide more value for members, and more guidance and tools for encouraging and enhancing university-industry partnerships.

“The addition of Industry-Sponsored Research Management to our many resources is just the latest in our ongoing education efforts and a valuable new benefit for our membership,” Boccanfuso said. “UIDP’s commitment to building bridges between universities and corporations has never been stronger, nor has it ever been more needed. The outstanding, practical guidance found in each issue of Industry-Sponsored Research Management will be invaluable to the many leading companies and top universities who make up the UIDP as they seek deeper, more valuable partnerships.”

Added David Schwartz, CEO of 2Market Information Inc. and publisher of Industry-Sponsored Research Management:  “We are thrilled to welcome UIDP members to our worldwide readership. This affiliation is a fantastic match, as the missions of our publication and the UIDP line up perfectly – to identify and disseminate new and better strategies and models for university-industry collaboration. UIDP members will see best practices, case studies, and proven tactics for deepening their partnerships and realizing better return on their investments in these relationships.”

About 2Market Information Inc.

Atlanta-based 2Market Information Inc., publisher of both Technology Transfer Tactics and Industry-Sponsored Research Management, is the world’s leader in providing practical guidance and professional development for technology transfer and research commercialization professionals. Along with these publications, the company’s offerings include webinars, books, distance learning collections, e-zines, software, and other tools available in print and electronically through the Tech Transfer Central web portal. To learn more about its products and services, go to www.techtransfercentral.com.  

The May issue of the all-new publication Industry-Sponsored Research Management offers an inside look at two alternative contracting models designed to be more attractive to corporate sponsors than standing sponsored research agreements.

The two programs were developed by two different Oregon universities — Oregon State and the Oregon Health and Sciences University.  They share a common goal: To overcome common barriers to industry-sponsored research deals using simpler contract terms and easier access to intellectual property developed under the agreements.  Those terms, their implementation, and their impact are detailed by research management  leaders at each institution.

 The May issue also features several other detailed articles focused on building and effectively managing university-industry research partnerships:

• Michigan State University’s Business-CONNECT program offers a “front door to corporations” and takes a holistic approach to corporate engagement, stimulating both research funding as well as economic development in the region.
• Members of a research consortium in the Philadelphia area, led by the Wistar Institute, have all pledged to use a standardized sponsored research agreement that will cut the time and effort involved for industry partners.
• John Deere Co. has opened its own office on the Iowa State University campus as a way of “embedding” into the fabric of the research institution and building closer ties to faculty innovators.
• The Michigan Corporate Relations Network was recently expanded to include all 15 state universities, all working to help companies with everything from finding interns to building fruitful research partnerships.

Launched last month by Atlanta-based 2Market Information Inc., Industry-Sponsored Research Management is the first and only publication devoted to helping universities build and manage their portfolios of corporate-sponsored research agreements.

Each monthly issue contains high-level strategies and best practices designed to help research managers bring in more industry research contracts, negotiate deals effectively, build lasting relationships with corporate sponsors, protect valuable intellectual property, avoid conflicts of interest, and ensure airtight compliance practices.

“We are filling a big void for information on this critical topic,” says David Schwartz, 2Market Information’s CEO and publisher. “In light of proposed cuts to federal research grants, it’s become even more important than ever for universities to establish strong ties with industry partners and enable their research labs to continue making discoveries that bring benefits to the economy and to the world. It’s imperative that research universities get solid information on how to gain industry funding and management these complicated relationships.”

2Market Information Inc., publisher of TechnologyTransfer Tactics newsletter and Tech Transfer eNews, and producer of distance learning programs for technology transfer professionals, has announced the launch of Industry-Sponsored Research Management, the first and only how-to newsletter helping universities attract more corporate-sponsored research and manage those partnerships effectively.

This monthly publication is a single source of how-to, practical information focused squarely on providing industry-sponsored research managers with high-level strategies and best practices guaranteed to bring in more contracts, negotiate deals effectively, build lasting relationships with corporate sponsors, protect valuable intellectual property, and ensure airtight compliance practices.

“The squeeze on research funding from traditional government and other grant sources is something every university has been dealing with, and many have turned to lucrative industry-sponsored collaborations to replace or supplement that traditional funding,” says David Schwartz, 2Market Information’s CEO and publisher. “There are tens of millions of dollars involved, critical intellectual property issues, difficult contracting and negotiation challenges, and very tricky conflict of interest concerns – yet there has been a near-total absence of in-depth, practical coverage of these challenges. We aim to change that,” Schwartz states.

Charter subscribers to Industry-Sponsored Research Management will also receive a free distance learning collection, Best Practices in Forming and Managing Industry-University Partnerships. It includes three programs that tackle some of the toughest challenges faced in the industry-sponsored research arena.

AURIL (Association for University Research and Industry Links), Europe’s largest organization for knowledge transfer professionals (a field also known as “technology transfer”), has signed a multi-year Memorandum of Understanding with Technology Transfer Tactics (TTT), a Florida-based publisher of continuing professional development content on the commercialization of university research.

The agreement highlights AURIL’s recognition that TTT-produced materials (newsletters, audioconferences, books) “can have educational value to knowledge transfer professionals,” and provides a mechanism for AURIL members to obtain these resources at discounted prices.

“We feel this formal arrangement with TTT will provide a wider range of practical, easily-accessible knowledge transfer information for our members,” said Dr. Phillip Graham, AURIL’s executive director. “It will also provide them financial savings in today’s stressed economy,” he added.

David Schwartz, TTT’s CEO, echoed the MoU in saying, “Recognizing that AURIL is one of the world’s leading organizations for knowledge transfer professionals, we’re delighted to make these information products available to AURIL members at a significant cost savings.”

Both groups will cooperate in publicizing this new arrangement to AURIL members.

Originally established in the 1980s, AURIL has over 1600 members, located primarily in the UK and Ireland, and is acknowledged as the largestknowledge transfer association for practitioners in organizations engaged in knowledge transfer.

TTT is a privately held information publishing company, founded in 2007 by David Schwartz and Dr. Leslie Norins. Their combined experience in scientific publishing exceeds 50 years. Its educational product line includes two monthly newsletters by subscription, two free weekly e-zines, and numerous audioconferences, special reports and books.

Both TTT and AURIL share the common objective of stimulating the rapid, effective transfer of knowledge and technologies between universities and research institutes and the commercial marketplace — and thereby into use by society. This process is facilitated by specialized staff who convert research discoveries into practical applications, often involving the return of licensing royalties back to inventors and to universities for further re-investment.
