Dear University of Akron Faculty, Staff and Students,
It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly a decade since I joined The University of Akron as the Vice
President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School, but as the adage goes: time flies when you’re
having fun. These last 10 years certainly have been just that, as I have had the distinct opportunity to
witness the broad scope of research performed on this campus while the Landscape for Learning
blossomed.
In my past annual reports, I have stressed the importance of ―Telling the (Research) Story.‖ That is, to
share all of the successes our research faculty have experienced with you, the University community. At
The University of Akron our faculty, in many areas, are setting the bar for research, innovation and
technological advancements at new levels. We are fortunate to have a dedicated and diverse faculty,
who recognize the significance of research and are willing to put in the extra effort necessary to achieve
such extraordinary accomplishments. Now, after 10 years of working with this faculty, I find it fitting to
take a moment and reflect back on this time and attempt to once again, ―Tell the Story‖--not of individuals,
but rather the composite.
Additionally, I would be remiss if credit was not given to those who have made it possible for the
successes that we have realized as a team. I am very fortunate to have dedicated and loyal colleagues in
The University of Akron Graduate School, Office of Technology Transfer, Office of Research Services and
Sponsored Programs, the University of Akron Research Foundation, as well as an awesome group of
individuals who donate their time, effort and talent to make our community richer and fuller. While it goes
without saying, a special thanks goes to Dr. Luis Proenza for providing this wonderful opportunity to me. I
continue to be energized and invigorated with the professional acumen of these individuals with whom I
have the pleasure of working each day. The dynamics and attitude in the greater Akron community has
grown and expanded over this time frame for the better, and will continue to be a richer and more
progressive community because of each of you, and your positive efforts.
In the pages that follow, a brief summary of the last 10 years is given for each of the aforementioned
areas. Taken individually, the sections highlight the challenges and accomplishments that each area has
experienced; taken as a whole, it tells a story of which I am very proud.
With best regards, I remain
Sincerely,
George R. Newkome, Ph.D.

INTRODUCTION TO THE UA GRADUATE SCHOOL
The University of Akron Graduate School provides a quality program of education by
offering advanced courses in various fields of knowledge, thus creating opportunities to
develop and apply research techniques, and advancing students’ expertise through the
efforts of distinguished graduate faculty. In addition to these primary objectives, the
Graduate School is committed to the continuous development of practices that reflect
national and international standards of excellence in graduate education.
Numerous challenges, both external and internal, to these objectives have emerged
over the past 10 years. Changes in state-level funding formulas and major recessions in
the United States economy have threatened the quality of graduate education. Further,
post-9/11 national security restrictions have posed new and unique barriers to recruiting
international graduate students. Restricted university budgets, competition for limited
resources, and the reorganization of academic and institutional priorities are some of
the more formidable internal challenges facing the Graduate School. In the face of
these challenges, The University of Akron Graduate School carefully and responsibly
carries out measures necessary to meet our objectives.
In the following sections, we review the activities of the Graduate School over the past
decade ranging from 2001-present are reviewed. The intent is to give an accurate
snapshot of the growth in our enrollment, and range of responsibilities in the following
areas:
Graduate Applications Received

GRADUATE STUDENTS
Applications to Graduate Programs
Over the last decade, the number of student applications to University of Akron
Graduate Programs increased by 14%, from 4,056 in 2000-2001 to 4,631 in 2009-
2010. Although we continue to rely on local recruiting from undergraduate programs,
most of the 14% growth experienced over the last decade was achieved after the
implementation of our web-based application system, Apply-Yourself. As indicated in
the graph below, Apply-Yourself effectively enabled us to reverse a downward trend in
applications in the middle of the decade. The internet has transformed the recruitment
process and our web-based application system reflects the importance of the up-to-date
technology.

Enrollment
Not surprisingly, along with an increase in applications to graduate programs, we have
seen a growth in enrollment numbers, as well. In the Fall Semester of 2001, there were
3,545 students enrolled in graduate studies (master’s and doctoral combined); in 2009,
that number grew to 4,103 students signifying a 16% increase. Since 2001, the
proportion of full-time graduate students has increased from 45% to 49% and the
proportion of students enrolled in doctoral programs has increased from 22% to 27%.
The numbers of international students and racial and ethnic minorities have increased
by small amounts, but have declined as a percentage of the graduate student
population. In 2001, 18% of graduate students were non-resident aliens; while in 2009,
only 16% of our students came from abroad. In 2001, 10% of UA graduate students
represented racial or ethnic minorities, while in 2009 only 9% of graduate students
came from this group.

Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is crucial to student success and vital to the recruitment of quality
graduate students. The University of Akron stipend budget increased by 28% between
2001-2002 and 2010-2011, from $6.9 million to $8.8 million. The total number of
students receiving graduate assistant funding increased by 23% from 1,076 in 2001-
2002 to 1,337 in 2010-2011. This increase in the number of students supported in their
graduate studies is accounted for by grant and contract-supported research assistants.
It should be noted, the value of a student stipend, based in constant 2001 dollars, is
probably lower today than in 2001 despite the increase in the dollar amount of the
stipend budget.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS AND FACULTY
In the last decade The University of Akron has increased the number of master’s
programs, that it offers, by 11 and the number of doctoral programs by 2 (Integrative
Biosciences and Audiology). The Integrative Biosciences doctorate represents a unique
program that creatively allows students to cut across multiple disciplines and colleges
for the explicit purpose of developing scientists, who are able to synthesize (or
integrate) knowledge from multiple sciences to address research questions that must
also span disciplines. This graduate program is a distinctive achievement at The
University of Akron as it bridges many of our best departments in order to train
scientists with broad expertise. We have also redefined a previous doctoral degree
option in the Department of Psychology as a joint doctoral program with Cleveland State
University in Adult Development and Aging.
Among master’s programs, we have initiated the Consortial Master of Fine Arts (MFA)
program with Youngstown State University, Kent State University, and Cleveland State
University. The demand for this degree far exceeds the capacity of the program and
has met expectations to create a national magnet for the fine arts that specializes in
creative writing. The Consortium of Eastern Ohio Master of Public Health program,
started in 1999, and accredited in 2003, has evolved into a stable and reaccredited
health-training resource during these last 10 years.
In the last decade, the size of the regular graduate faculty has increased by 4% from
467 to 486. Given the overall reduction in full-time faculty at UA during this same time,
the slight increase in the size of the graduate faculty is the more impressive.
The dean of the Graduate School convenes and chairs the graduate faculty annually to
discuss matters of importance including recommendations from the Graduate Council.
Although it cannot be quantified, the Graduate Council has become more active in the
governance of the Graduate School and the graduate faculty through the Membership
and Curriculum committees in particular.
11

GRADUATE SCHOOL INITIATIVES
The composition of the Graduate School office has changed over the last decade. In
particular, the office has lost the Associate Dean for Minority Recruitment and the
position of Associate Dean has undergone considerable change. Since 2004, the
Associate Dean’s position has been unchanged and this stability has allowed the
Graduate School to become more efficient and effective. The Graduate School has
also undertaken a number of initiatives to improve graduate student recruitment, funding
and the interaction of graduate students with local institutions and businesses.
In addition to the online application system, Apply-Yourself, the Graduate School also
adopted the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) system in 2005. This system
places all completed theses and dissertations into the OhioLINK electronic information
system, and provides open access to the intellectual work of our students (work can
also be embargoed, if there are publication or intellectual property concerns). In 2009-
2010, the Graduate School began using The University of Akron NOLIJ system to store
student records. It is expected that all graduate student records will be in electronic
form within three years. By the end of 2010, we expect that the Advancement to
Candidacy and Application for Graduation forms will also be handled electronically. The
Graduate School will be ―paperless‖ within the next three years.
The Graduate School initiated the annual Conference on Undergraduate and Graduate
Student Research (CUGSR) in 2004. This annual conference is held on the University
campus and the number of students presenting their research has increased each year.
In 2010, there were 260 posters or presentations. The CUGSR also honors faculty
mentors and emphasizes the value of the student-mentor relationship.
In 2001, the Graduate School developed of the Industrial/Community Graduate
Assistantship program through which students receive stipend support from a local
industrial or community organization to complete their master’s or doctoral research
within the organization. Beginning with 9 such assistantships worth $109,000 in 2001,
the program has expanded to 23 assistantships worth $242,000. The
Industrial/Community Assistantship Program also served as a model for recent longterm
agreements with Summa Health Systems and The Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
The Graduate School participates in the University-wide Academic Program Review
process. In the past five years, every master’s and doctoral program at The University
of Akron has been reviewed using criteria established by the Ohio Regents Advisory
Committee on Graduate Study (RACGS) of the Ohio Board of Regents. Not only does
UA comply with expectations set by RACGS for the review of graduate programs, the
reviews also facilitate internal strategic academic planning.
12

For the past 10 years, the Graduate School hosts the Ronald E. McNair Post-
Baccalaureate Achievement Program, funded by the US Department of Education.
McNair Scholars are undergraduate students, who come from disadvantaged and
under-represented populations. The program is designed to assist promising students to
enroll in and obtain doctoral degrees. It has successfully developed partnerships with
Summa Health Care Systems and Cleveland Clinic to facilitate quality research
experiences for the McNair Scholars.
Graduate Student Government (GSG) languished in the early 2000s. As a result of
initiatives by the Graduate School, it has been systematically revived and is now an
active University Student Organization with wide graduate student participation and
stable funding from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Despite the absence of an Associate Dean for Minority Recruitment, Graduate School
representatives attend local ―graduate fairs‖ to recruit students to The University of
Akron. We especially attempt to attend such fairs when they promise to include many
disadvantaged and under-represented undergraduates, who are searching for graduate
programs. In 2010, we held the first University of Akron Graduate Fair. Although such
fairs are attended by representatives from other universities, many graduate programs
at UA also participated. The Associate Dean of the Graduate School is the Chair of the
Graduate Student Recruitment and Retention committee of The University of Akron
Diversity Council. Through this venue, we are attempting to improve the recruitment
and retention of target students.
Finally, the Graduate School has taken the initiative, through the Graduate Council, to
update University Rules and Graduate School practices to align them with national and
international trends in graduate education.
13

THE FUTURE OF THE UA GRADUATE SCHOOL
The Graduate School is involved in several current projects to enhance graduate
education.
Universities receiving funds from the National Science Foundation or the National
Institutes for Health are now required to assure the training of faculty and graduate
research assistants in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). The Graduate
School is working with the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to develop this
training mechanism.
We have been concerned that graduate students from other countries may be at a
disadvantage, both in the job market and professionally, if they have a limited command
of the English language. As a result, the Graduate School has joined with the
Departments of English and Polymer Engineering to develop a special course in
scientific writing. Once the course is established, the Graduate School will develop an
additional mechanism so that all graduate students, who might benefit from such a
course, will be able to do so.
The Graduate School is also exploring ways in which graduate students can be
systematically exposed to the notion of entrepreneurship based on their expertise and
interest.
The Graduate School recently obtained a standard academic program code so that it is
now possible for us to develop courses for graduate students. We are contemplating
offering courses in RCR, Scientific English and Professional Development. This is a
longer term goal.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORSSP
The Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs (ORSSP) facilitates faculty
research by identifying funding sources, assisting in proposal development, reviewing
and endorsing proposals, negotiating agreements, accepting and authorizing awards,
and interpreting guidelines on compliance with agency and University policies.
The last ten years have seen drastic changes in the proposal submission and
grant/contract award processes. Sponsor efforts to go paperless have led to a
tremendous increase in electronic submissions and award documentation, replacing
costly use of shipping out-going, overnight mailings, that often included multiple copies
of proposals.
SERVICE TO UA
The ORSSP functions as a service unit within The University of Akron. This office has
made significant efforts to reach out to faculty and staff to educate them about
sponsored programs, increase notification to faculty of grant opportunities, and increase
communication and networking among faculty members. To that end, over the last
several years, the ORSSP has implemented the following services and programs to the
UA community:
o In an effort to increase transparency and inform the University community, in
2005-2006 the ORSSP began collecting and reporting both proposal
submissions and award dollars, by percentage of credit.
o In 2006, the ORSSP began distributing daily Opportunity Briefs. This daily email
is sent out to faculty members to provide information about selected funding
opportunities as well as special announcements.
o In 2009-2010 the ORSSP implemented an annual reception to gather faculty
receiving external funding from the previous year and new faculty to The
University of Akron community. This event serves in both recognition and
appreciation of the active research faculty members. The event also allows for
new faculty members to network with established research faculty. Many
introductions have been made with the goal of creating future research
collaborations.
o In April, 2009, the ORSSP hosted NIH Day, an all-day regional conference held
at Quaker Square for nearly 200 attendees from as far away as West Virginia
and Kentucky. The event featured five representatives from different directorates
and departments, who offered a variety of presentations throughout the day. The
16

presentations covered, in part, fundamentals of NIH proposal submission,
budgeting, the peer review process and SBIR/STTR issues. Sessions were
geared to meet the needs of the beginning researcher, as well as more
experienced researchers. The goal of the event was to offer useful information
for all attendees. A regional conference focusing on a different sponsor is
currently being planned to be held in the spring of 2011.
o In 2009-2010, the ORSSP began hosting the ―Research for Lunch.‖ These
brown bag lunches provided research faculty with an opportunity to talk about
their research. UA faculty are invited to present their current research in an
informal lunch setting. The lunches are held in the Student Union and advertised
campus-wide in the E-Mail Digest, and Opportunity Briefs.
o Also, in 2009-2010, ORSSP Director Katie Watkins-Wendell, along with
Associate Controller Heather Kraus, created the Sponsored Programs
Administration Training Series (SPATS). This series consists of 1.5 hour
workshops geared towards departmental staff and administrators who work with
grant and contract funding. Beginning in 2010-2011, the SPATS series will offer
―Introductory‖ as well as ―Advanced‖ Series seminars.
o The ORSSP is responsible for administering the University’s pool of start-up
money. Dr. Newkome was instrumental in increasing start-up funding by 200%.
While this funding assists in recruiting new faculty members to UA, its primary
purpose allows new faculty, from a wide-variety of disciplines, to receive funding
and enable them to outfit their laboratory space, purchase research equipment,
and travel to professional conferences. In essence, these funds enable select
new faculty to begin their research endeavors with the necessary tools for
success.
Our faculty are able to achieve outstanding results in research through the assistance of
ORSSP services. On the following pages, we exhibit the achievements of our research
faculty over the past 10 years.

OHIO RESEARCH AWARD DOLLARS
*Source: The University of Akron Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs
As indicated in the chart above, The University of Akron ranked fourth in research
award-dollars-received by our Ohio benchmarking schools. It is important to note that
the University of Toledo, Ohio University and Wright State University include medical
school award dollars.

UA/UARF GRANTS AND CONTRACTS
*Source: The University of Akron Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs
The above chart reflects the total combined award dollars received for The University of
Akron and the University of Akron Research Foundation. The growth of UARF dollars
reflects an increase in corporate awards, due in part, to UARF’s ability to enter into
certain contracts to which The University of Akron cannot.
19

RESEARCH FACULTY
*Source: The University of Akron Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs
In the last 10 years, the number of UA’s active primary investigators (PIs) has increased
12%, and the number of awards has increased 4%; however, award dollars have
increase 121%. This can be attributed to UA’s research excellence, which allows the
faculty to actively seek larger grants, including dedicated centers, such as the College
of Engineering’s Ohio Transportation Center, funded by the U.S. Department of
Transportation.

Despite the economy, 2009-2010 proposal dollars are 7.6% higher than in 2000-01,
although down from a record high of $233 million in 2007-08. It may be helpful to note
that proposal dollars reflect the total dollars requested for the entire period of the
proposed research project. If awarded, many awards are received in single year
increments, thereby spreading the award dollars for a single award over many years.

The University of Akron, once again, reached a new high in research and sponsored
programs award dollars in 2009-2010. This was accomplished in the midst of both the
nation’s and the state’s worst economic downturns in decades. With sponsors having
fewer dollars to spend, UA’s increase is a direct reflection of the timely, cutting-edge,
and important research work being done by our research faculty.

A DECADE IN TRANSITION
At the turn of the 21 st century, University of Akron President, Dr. Luis Proenza, and the
Board of Trustees began an initiative to emphasize the growth, development, and status
of the research capability of the institution. To that end, The University of Akron
introduced Dr. George Newkome as the new Vice President for Research in 2001. Dr.
Newkome’s first priority was to establish an efficient intellectual property (IP)
management system.
Dr. Newkome enlisted the services of two seasoned business attorneys to create a
technology management office (Office of Technology Transfer) as a part of the
University’s Office of Research. The OTT’s objectives are to identify, evaluate, protect
and commercialize the results of the University’s research and development programs.
Under Ohio statutes, any inventions made by employees of a public institution, or
through the use of public facilities, belong to the state. Ownership of the invention is
thus transferred from the inventor to the institution. Further, under the federal Bayh-
Dole laws, institutions may acquire titles to the inventions made under federal funding
and are required to commercialize the inventions for the benefit of the society, the
institution and the inventors.
While these statutes provided a framework and requirement for the commercialization of
university inventions, there were also rules and statutes that inhibited full
commercialization opportunities. For example, neither the inventors nor the University
could own equity in startup companies that used the inventions, nor provide facilities to
assist in startup operations. Prohibitions against indemnifications also curtailed some
research and commercialization opportunities, and strict interpretations of conflict of
interest rules provided additional barriers.
To address and overcome these obstacles, The University of Akron Board of Trustees,
established the University of Akron Research Foundation (UARF) in 2001. Based on a
model created and developed by Dr. Newkome at the University of South Florida, and
currently the model for the Florida public university system, UARF’s mission is to
support the University. UARF is a separate corporation governed by an independent
board and, thus, can operate outside of the foregoing state constraints regarding the
University’s activities. Under contract with the University, UARF manages the
University’s commercialization activities as well as industry-sponsored research
projects.
24

ASSESSING THE REGION
That sets the stage for describing in more detail the University’s technology transfer
activities in 2001, and the ensuing actions of the OTT and UARF in the following
decade. Drawing liberally from, and in many instances directly quoting Associate Vice
President Wayne Watkins’ June 2010 Congressional testimony, as well as his paper
entitled ―Strategies for Small Technology Transfer Offices: Doing More, with Less,‖
when we arrived in Akron in 2001, we found a public urban university, 25,000 students,
exceptionally strong programs in advanced materials and chemistry and, specifically,
polymers and plastics (UA is a leading institution in polymers). The University
possesses a quality engineering school, a relatively unknown, but outstanding law
school with a strong intellectual property focus, and a business school with a newly
formed entrepreneurship program and strong sales, marketing and international
business programs. The University of Akron does not have medical, veterinary or
pharmacy schools although there is a freestanding regional medical and pharmacy
school (Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Pharmacy) with which
UA is affiliated. Despite just over $20M in research expenditures in 2000, and a portfolio
of 350 patents, Akron had no significant licensing income and just one University spinoff
company.
Northeast Ohio is home to four public universities, but is struggling economically due to
the loss of steel and automobile industries, and especially rubber and tire
manufacturing. The region has been trying to redefine itself as the polymer capital of the
world, and has a good number of large, medium, and small manufacturing companies,
many of which are involved in research. Unfortunately, many manufacturing companies
lose ground to outsourcing and the realities of the new global economy. We believed
this area was long on technology and capital (although quite conservative capital) and
short on entrepreneurship, particularly technology-based entrepreneurship. We found a
region with its greatest opportunities for growth in the strategic clusters of advanced
materials and biosciences. Also worthy of mention is that we found a city that
experienced its heyday in the middle of the 20th century. Akron, Ohio, was considered
by many to be America's All American city, notwithstanding that it lived in Cleveland's
shadows.
Our assessment uncovered the existence of silos …both figurative and literal. The
former Quaker Oats grain silos, located in downtown Akron, provided a great metaphor
for our efforts as they had been transformed into a modern hotel. We frequently use
visuals of the before and after silos to communicate the message that our assets,
although historically figurative silos, can become effective community assets with vision
and commitment to change. The figurative silos included lack of collaboration among
the universities, industries, municipalities, and chambers of commerce. We also found
25

silos among University departments, colleges, programs, professors, and
administrators. We found silos among capital providers, entrepreneurs and technology
providers and an industry base that was frequently very closed and internally focused.
Like the visionary who saw a potential hotel in the Quaker Oats silos, we sought to find
potential in the resources of Northeast Ohio and Akron.
Some positive signs for economic growth included the University's commitment to
creating the new materials for the new economy, as well as a university president, who
is a national and international leader in technology transfer and research related
engagement. It was the outreach and technology transfer leadership of the University
president that provided Dr. Newkome the opportunity and flexibility to pursue an
aggressive strategy to achieve the University’s research and regional economic
development goals.
BEGINNING TO BUILD
One of our first steps was to engage the faculty, some of the more talented of whom
had become frustrated with the University’s technology transfer management. Many of
these faculty members had developed a mistrust of the system, and had little desire to
participate in achieving the new goals. Through active support, education, openness,
rapid response, and flexibility in meeting needs, many key researchers are now
supporters of the Office of Research efforts. Still, a number of state statutes and
compulsory rules inhibited the progress that was sought by the president and trustees.
Thus, we formed a University-related research foundation to facilitate University
technology transfer, to administer industry contracts with the University, and to house
our outreach efforts.
A separate, stand-alone research foundation provides us with a more entrepreneurial
organization to respond to industry opportunities and needs. It allows us to hold equity,
and provide indemnities to private research sponsors. We formed the University of
Akron Research Foundation (UARF), as a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), with a corporate
charter to benefit the University and our community.
We invited members to the Board of Directors, who had a passion for the community
and understood the role of a university in economic competiveness, to become part of
our community partnership. The majority of the directors are not UA personnel. We
chose directors who had a healthy perspective of investing resources for an expected
long-term benefit. UARF entered into an agreement with The University of Akron
allowing UARF to participate and administer all of UA’s industry-sponsored research
agreements. In this capacity, UARF essentially functions as the university's fiscal agent.
26

UARF receives all funding, pays the direct costs to the university, allocates the F&A
portion to the university units as per policy, including the department, college, legal
office, research office and others and keeps the balance to be used for the benefit of the
University, as determined by the UARF directors. UARF also acts as the fiscal agent on
all licensing agreements, receiving funds and allocating them to stakeholders according
to University IP policy, including the inventors, their research programs, the chairs and
deans. The remaining amounts likewise are used for the benefit of the University as
determined by the UARF directors.
We considered the reallocation of regional assets for the mutual benefit of asset
owners. We looked at libraries, buildings, laboratories, people, and patents in our region
and then asked ourselves if reallocation of such assets would be of benefit to
stakeholders. As a result, six regional companies donated their library holdings to The
University of Akron, thus increasing University holdings and positively enhancing
academic metrics. In most cases, the books remained at the corporate facilities. The
University assumed management of the libraries and provided library services to the
companies for fees, which resulted in overall cost reductions to the companies.
Importantly, it made a wealth of library assets heretofore in private collections available
to the regional public.
UARF also occupied excess laboratory space at a company to house a chemical pilot
plant facility acquired with state of Ohio funding. The facility is operated by UARF on
behalf of paying customers, who need occasional scale up and pilot plant facilities. The
company that provided the space receives use of the pilot plant as its payment for the
facility. The company also agreed to open up its unused office and lab space to UA. We
looked at excess capacity of equipment at companies and arranged for the donation of
equipment to UARF which was then transferred to the University.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
In our discussions with industry, we also look for non-core intellectual property that
UARF can either bundle with its intellectual property, or otherwise assist in the
exploitation. Likewise, we looked at human resources and for opportunities to co-locate
people. We wanted to have more industry scientists and engineers involved in the
academic world and vice versa.
We considered how we could build the infrastructure and trust necessary for an
effective licensing and technology commercialization program. A first step was to
update the University intellectual property related policies. We made several
modifications; the most significant of which were designating the research foundation as
the fiscal agent for licensing, and revising the royalty sharing. After patent costs are
27

eimbursed, 40% goes to the inventors and 10% to their research programs. Thus, as
we like to say, 50% is of direct benefit to the inventors. The remaining 50% is shared
with the department, college, and UARF.
We promoted inventions by recognizing inventors. We sponsored periodic receptions for
all inventors on campus and created an Inventors Wall of Fame displaying all patented
inventions with various colored stars indicating the range of licensing revenues
received. These efforts have been well-received by the faculty, and we have
experienced substantial growth in disclosures and patent applications.
We also experienced significant royalty revenue growth. Following the creation of
UARF, we approached a company that was successfully and legally using a UA
developed technology, but was not required to make payments reflecting the fair value
of the technology. We were able to upgrade the license and thus received a large onetime
payment which allowed for UARF to reward the inventors. This action generated
good will among the faculty and other stakeholders.
We spent considerable time with faculty inventors, seeking to understand the
technology opportunity and then developing a commercialization strategy. As a result,
we now have 61 technologies either licensed or optioned to license.
In our efforts to increase research funding, we specifically focused on industry-driven
research. We approached many companies to seek understanding of their challenges
and opportunities. UARF representatives asked, "What can we do for you?" One such
company was RPM International, a large holding company of several specialty coatings
and sealants companies (DAP®, Dayglow®, Rustoleum®). They were interested in
having experts help them source and exploit emerging technology. We formed a team
of UARF experts, primarily from retired industry personnel, to provide these innovation
services. The Research and Development managers of the RPM subsidiaries now have
their annual meeting at The University of Akron. We continue to report to them on our
innovation services, and in turn, learn about their challenges and opportunities. Our
team also meets periodically with subsidiaries at their locations. The effort with RPM
resulted in a joint venture startup company to develop a new product conceived in the
process. When UARF receives funds from sponsors and donors, the services are
typically performed by the University and other providers. Generally, UARF obtains an
equity interest in the new company.
As a result, we experienced overall research funding increases. There are 115 active
industry-sponsored research agreements and the number is increasing. The key to the
growth is the careful consideration of the challenges and needs of our individual
sponsors.
28

We looked for excess office and lab space for our emerging enterprises. We noticed a
"for lease" sign on two four-story buildings adjacent to campus in an area targeted by
the University and the City of Akron for revitalization. We approached the owners and
within a year, purchased the properties to form the Akron Innovation Campus. We now
have 16 tenants and house our UARF outreach efforts and several of our supported
emerging companies. We charge competitive rates on standard leases and provide
space to emerging enterprises in exchange for equity. The Akron Innovation Campus
creates a location for University-related innovation activity and the real estate becomes
a nice visual promotion vehicle for our efforts.
Of importance to the region’s economic growth, we support the formation of new
enterprises including University-based startups. Overall, we have formed or supported
the formation of 35 companies. Of those supported, not all are licensees of UA, and not
all are spin-offs by definition of the Association of University Technology Managers
(AUTM). Some were formed to facilitate access to SBIR and STTR funds. We formed
one to demonstrate our commitment to action within 48 hours of our first in-person
meeting with two international companies that wanted to form a joint venture with a U.S.
presence. We also had an interim management group designated.
In the Akron Polymer Systems model, we formed a university/faculty spin-off company
to manufacture a compound already licensed to an end-user, who needed product. We
had the scientific expertise in the faculty inventor and his graduate students. They are
now a company of about 15 employees, many of whom are graduates of the UA
polymer program.
As another example of our outreach activity, we pursued licensing discussions with an
out-of-state company, which led to the formation of an Ohio affiliate company to develop
and exploit ceramic filtration technology. The move was not a requirement of the
license, but the company saw value in the linkages and infrastructure we created at the
University and moved to Akron.
ACQUISITION OF PERSONNEL
One of the innovative benefits of the research foundation model is the ability to attract
and use skilled personnel for the benefit of the University without state support funding.
In 2000, the university’s technology transfer business was handled by two state
employees—an Assistant General Counsel and a Coordinator. Today, there are three
Technology Transfer Office positions paid for by state funds—the Director, an Associate
Vice President for Research, and an Administrative Assistant. In addition, there are 18
participants in the Office’s programs including full- and part-time employees, volunteers,
student assistants and interns, who are not compensated by the state. This staff has
29

permitted and provided for the expansion of services, and fulfills roles, such as:
technology data management, marketing, licensing, start-up support, real estate
management, community outreach and public-private support. Financial support for
these participants comes from non-state IDC accounts, UARF, and its for-profit
companies: University Innovation Ventures, and Akron Innovation Campus.
An example of the foregoing benefits is our enhanced ability to pursue entrepreneurship
support. This has become one of our most important and rewarding strategies. We
identified and appointed outstanding retirees as Senior Fellows of our Research
Foundation. We were fortunate to find two kindred spirits who were completing their
industry careers and were willing to invest their time, talents and networks in fostering
innovation at the interface of industry and academia. These talented people are coming
to appreciate and respect the academic culture while helping the academy learn to
better interface with industry. We provided them with a title, a computer, a telephone, an
email address, some expense money and the opportunity to be connected to emerging
enterprises, where they can negotiate equity positions without the conflicts of interest
inherent with those who are employees of the University or its research foundation.
They are neither employees of, nor receive a salary from the University. We then turned
this well qualified group loose with our full support. They became responsible for:
Providing assessments, innovation and ideation services to regional companies,
Being the primary drivers for several spin-off companies,
Advising start-ups,
Providing onsite innovation services for innovation campus tenants,
Increasing recognition of UA’s technology expertise to multinational Fortune 50
companies,
Linking faculty expertise and programs with regional companies,
Establishing an angel network and pursuing an early stage investment fund, and
Identifying, developing and securing a multi-million dollar sponsored program for
the University.
In addition to senior fellows, we have entrepreneurs-in-residence, one of whom is also a
part-time employee of the chamber of commerce. This shared personnel mechanism
improved the cooperation with the local chamber of commerce. The entrepreneurs-inresidence
also support the senior fellows.
OUTREACH
The senior fellows formed and lead, with UARF assistance, the successful ARCHAngels
investment network. The network is comprised of approximately 500 members and
meets quarterly to review investment opportunities. As many as 80 students from
regional colleges and universities attend the meetings as part of their courses in
30

entrepreneurship, and many find mentors and student projects within the network. The
senior fellows conduct the meetings and screen the projects to present to the network.
To date, 55 companies have presented with half receiving investment funding, resulting
in more than $75M in investments.
The senior fellows conceptualized and implemented, again with UARF support, open
innovation seminars for regional companies. We have been assisted in these efforts by
representatives from Procter & Gamble and the University of Pittsburgh who are in the
forefront of open innovation promotion. We have approximately 100 business leaders,
policy makers and innovators, who meet from time-to-time to discuss and practice open
innovation.
Encouraging student entrepreneurial development, UARF and the UA have arranged for
more than 150 industrial assistantships with local businesses. UARF also provides
scholarships to selected programs, and is pursuing a student-run seed capital fund as
well as a women's angel network
Seeking broader regional alliances, UARF personnel are made available to provide
technology transfer and innovation services to other regional institutions that do not
have the critical mass to have a full technology transfer and innovation services group.
Thus, we have provided services as needed to Cleveland State University, Youngstown
State University, and Lorain County Community College. We are also in discussions
with local hospitals and industry to assist them with technology transfer and intellectual
property management services. Perceiving a reluctance for some regional institutions
to use UARF services, we formed the Ohio Research Foundation as a vehicle to
provide innovation services to regional partners to the extent they are interested and
find it of value. We also formed an innovation alliance with Lorain County Community
College, a regional higher education partner that has been successful in operating a
seed capital initiative. Rather than compete and start from scratch, we joined with them
in submitting for state funding for a seed capital program. Similarly, we are participating
in the Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron and expect many benefits from the
collaboration, including, but not limited to, faculty and research funding.
Looking forward, we have much to learn and we have been more successful in some
areas than in others. We are seeking to be better integrated with all colleges at The
University of Akron. We believe entrepreneurship needs to be a campus-wide effort,
much broader than a program contained in a single college. We have enhanced our
relationships with faculty, and hope to continue to transform the silos that sometimes
exist in colleges and departments.

OTT & UARF ACTIVITIES
We have been successful in developing and teaching intellectual property management
courses primarily to law students. We would like to expand it to the science, engineering
and business curriculum.

Overall responsibility for the university's research programs and services, Graduate School, technology transfer, and
economic development initiatives. Increased line item for new faculty start-up funds from $1.75M/year to $3.75M. As a
result, external research award funding during tenure at UA has grown from $18M (2000) to $48.3M (2009). In 2001,
established the University of Akron Research Foundation (UARF), a not-for-profit organization that enables UA faculty to
expand into the free enterprise environment, creates a healthy industry/university framework, and establishes a university
hub for knowledge management within the community.
Recognition of UA/UARF efforts in technology commercialization effectiveness has come from the National Science
Foundation, The Milken Institute, the Association for University Technology Managers, the University Economic
Development Association, the Ohio Board of Regents, and the Third Frontier Commission.
