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

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

GRADUATE STUDENTS<br />
Applications to Graduate Programs<br />
Over the last decade, the number <strong>of</strong> student applications to <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong><br />
Graduate Programs increased by 14%, from 4,056 in 2000-2001 to 4,631 in 2009-<br />
20<strong>10</strong>. Although we continue to rely on local recruiting from undergraduate programs,<br />
most <strong>of</strong> the 14% growth experienced over the last decade was achieved after the<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> our web-based application system, Apply-Yourself. As indicated in<br />
the graph below, Apply-Yourself effectively enabled us to reverse a downward trend in<br />
applications in the middle <strong>of</strong> the decade. <strong>The</strong> internet has transformed the recruitment<br />
process and our web-based application system reflects the importance <strong>of</strong> the up-to-date<br />
technology.<br />

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

Financial Assistance<br />
Financial assistance is crucial to student success and vital to the recruitment <strong>of</strong> quality<br />
graduate students. <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> stipend budget increased by 28% between<br />
2001-2002 and 20<strong>10</strong>-2011, from $6.9 million to $8.8 million. <strong>The</strong> total number <strong>of</strong><br />
students receiving graduate assistant funding increased by 23% from 1,076 in 2001-<br />
2002 to 1,337 in 20<strong>10</strong>-2011. This increase in the number <strong>of</strong> students supported in their<br />
graduate studies is accounted for by grant and contract-supported research assistants.<br />
It should be noted, the value <strong>of</strong> a student stipend, based in constant 2001 dollars, is<br />
probably lower today than in 2001 despite the increase in the dollar amount <strong>of</strong> the<br />
stipend budget.<br />

GRADUATE PROGRAMS AND FACULTY<br />
In the last decade <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> has increased the number <strong>of</strong> master’s<br />
programs, that it <strong>of</strong>fers, by 11 and the number <strong>of</strong> doctoral programs by 2 (Integrative<br />
Biosciences and Audiology). <strong>The</strong> Integrative Biosciences doctorate represents a unique<br />
program that creatively allows students to cut across multiple disciplines and colleges<br />
for the explicit purpose <strong>of</strong> developing scientists, who are able to synthesize (or<br />
integrate) knowledge from multiple sciences to address research questions that must<br />
also span disciplines. This graduate program is a distinctive achievement at <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> as it bridges many <strong>of</strong> our best departments in order to train<br />
scientists with broad expertise. We have also redefined a previous doctoral degree<br />
option in the Department <strong>of</strong> Psychology as a joint doctoral program with Cleveland State<br />
<strong>University</strong> in Adult Development and Aging.<br />
Among master’s programs, we have initiated the Consortial Master <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts (MFA)<br />
program with Youngstown State <strong>University</strong>, Kent State <strong>University</strong>, and Cleveland State<br />
<strong>University</strong>. <strong>The</strong> demand for this degree far exceeds the capacity <strong>of</strong> the program and<br />
has met expectations to create a national magnet for the fine arts that specializes in<br />
creative writing. <strong>The</strong> Consortium <strong>of</strong> Eastern Ohio Master <strong>of</strong> Public Health program,<br />
started in 1999, and accredited in 2003, has evolved into a stable and reaccredited<br />
health-training resource during these last <strong>10</strong> years.<br />
In the last decade, the size <strong>of</strong> the regular graduate faculty has increased by 4% from<br />
467 to 486. Given the overall reduction in full-time faculty at UA during this same time,<br />
the slight increase in the size <strong>of</strong> the graduate faculty is the more impressive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dean <strong>of</strong> the Graduate School convenes and chairs the graduate faculty annually to<br />
discuss matters <strong>of</strong> importance including recommendations from the Graduate Council.<br />
Although it cannot be quantified, the Graduate Council has become more active in the<br />
governance <strong>of</strong> the Graduate School and the graduate faculty through the Membership<br />
and Curriculum committees in particular.<br />
11
GRADUATE SCHOOL INITIATIVES<br />
<strong>The</strong> composition <strong>of</strong> the Graduate School <strong>of</strong>fice has changed over the last decade. In<br />
particular, the <strong>of</strong>fice has lost the Associate Dean for Minority Recruitment and the<br />
position <strong>of</strong> Associate Dean has undergone considerable change. Since 2004, the<br />
Associate Dean’s position has been unchanged and this stability has allowed the<br />
Graduate School to become more efficient and effective. <strong>The</strong> Graduate School has<br />
also undertaken a number <strong>of</strong> initiatives to improve graduate student recruitment, funding<br />
and the interaction <strong>of</strong> graduate students with local institutions and businesses.<br />
In addition to the online application system, Apply-Yourself, the Graduate School also<br />
adopted the Electronic <strong>The</strong>sis and Dissertation (ETD) system in 2005. This system<br />
places all completed theses and dissertations into the OhioLINK electronic information<br />
system, and provides open access to the intellectual work <strong>of</strong> our students (work can<br />
also be embargoed, if there are publication or intellectual property concerns). In 2009-<br />
20<strong>10</strong>, the Graduate School began using <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> NOLIJ system to store<br />
student records. It is expected that all graduate student records will be in electronic<br />
form within three years. By the end <strong>of</strong> 20<strong>10</strong>, we expect that the Advancement to<br />
Candidacy and Application for Graduation forms will also be handled electronically. <strong>The</strong><br />
Graduate School will be ―paperless‖ within the next three years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School initiated the annual Conference on Undergraduate and Graduate<br />
Student Research (CUGSR) in 2004. This annual conference is held on the <strong>University</strong><br />
campus and the number <strong>of</strong> students presenting their research has increased each year.<br />
In 20<strong>10</strong>, there were 260 posters or presentations. <strong>The</strong> CUGSR also honors faculty<br />
mentors and emphasizes the value <strong>of</strong> the student-mentor relationship.<br />
In 2001, the Graduate School developed <strong>of</strong> the Industrial/Community Graduate<br />
Assistantship program through which students receive stipend support from a local<br />
industrial or community organization to complete their master’s or doctoral research<br />
within the organization. Beginning with 9 such assistantships worth $<strong>10</strong>9,000 in 2001,<br />
the program has expanded to 23 assistantships worth $242,000. <strong>The</strong><br />
Industrial/Community Assistantship Program also served as a model for recent longterm<br />
agreements with Summa Health Systems and <strong>The</strong> Cleveland Clinic Foundation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School participates in the <strong>University</strong>-wide Academic Program <strong>Review</strong><br />
process. In the past five years, every master’s and doctoral program at <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> has been reviewed using criteria established by the Ohio Regents Advisory<br />
Committee on Graduate Study (RACGS) <strong>of</strong> the Ohio Board <strong>of</strong> Regents. Not only does<br />
UA comply with expectations set by RACGS for the review <strong>of</strong> graduate programs, the<br />
reviews also facilitate internal strategic academic planning.<br />
12
For the past <strong>10</strong> years, the Graduate School hosts the Ronald E. McNair Post-<br />
Baccalaureate Achievement Program, funded by the US Department <strong>of</strong> Education.<br />
McNair Scholars are undergraduate students, who come from disadvantaged and<br />
under-represented populations. <strong>The</strong> program is designed to assist promising students to<br />
enroll in and obtain doctoral degrees. It has successfully developed partnerships with<br />
Summa Health Care Systems and Cleveland Clinic to facilitate quality research<br />
experiences for the McNair Scholars.<br />
Graduate Student Government (GSG) languished in the early 2000s. As a result <strong>of</strong><br />
initiatives by the Graduate School, it has been systematically revived and is now an<br />
active <strong>University</strong> Student Organization with wide graduate student participation and<br />
stable funding from the Office <strong>of</strong> the Vice President for Student Affairs.<br />
Despite the absence <strong>of</strong> an Associate Dean for Minority Recruitment, Graduate School<br />
representatives attend local ―graduate fairs‖ to recruit students to <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Akron</strong>. We especially attempt to attend such fairs when they promise to include many<br />
disadvantaged and under-represented undergraduates, who are searching for graduate<br />
programs. In 20<strong>10</strong>, we held the first <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> Graduate Fair. Although such<br />
fairs are attended by representatives from other universities, many graduate programs<br />
at UA also participated. <strong>The</strong> Associate Dean <strong>of</strong> the Graduate School is the Chair <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Graduate Student Recruitment and Retention committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong><br />
Diversity Council. Through this venue, we are attempting to improve the recruitment<br />
and retention <strong>of</strong> target students.<br />
Finally, the Graduate School has taken the initiative, through the Graduate Council, to<br />
update <strong>University</strong> Rules and Graduate School practices to align them with national and<br />
international trends in graduate education.<br />
13
THE FUTURE OF THE UA GRADUATE SCHOOL<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School is involved in several current projects to enhance graduate<br />
education.<br />
Universities receiving funds from the National Science Foundation or the National<br />
Institutes for Health are now required to assure the training <strong>of</strong> faculty and graduate<br />
research assistants in the Responsible Conduct <strong>of</strong> Research (RCR). <strong>The</strong> Graduate<br />
School is working with the Office <strong>of</strong> Research and Sponsored Programs to develop this<br />
training mechanism.<br />
We have been concerned that graduate students from other countries may be at a<br />
disadvantage, both in the job market and pr<strong>of</strong>essionally, if they have a limited command<br />
<strong>of</strong> the English language. As a result, the Graduate School has joined with the<br />
Departments <strong>of</strong> English and Polymer Engineering to develop a special course in<br />
scientific writing. Once the course is established, the Graduate School will develop an<br />
additional mechanism so that all graduate students, who might benefit from such a<br />
course, will be able to do so.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School is also exploring ways in which graduate students can be<br />
systematically exposed to the notion <strong>of</strong> entrepreneurship based on their expertise and<br />
interest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Graduate School recently obtained a standard academic program code so that it is<br />
now possible for us to develop courses for graduate students. We are contemplating<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering courses in RCR, Scientific English and Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development. This is a<br />
longer term goal.<br />

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORSSP<br />
<strong>The</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> Research Services and Sponsored Programs (ORSSP) facilitates faculty<br />
research by identifying funding sources, assisting in proposal development, reviewing<br />
and endorsing proposals, negotiating agreements, accepting and authorizing awards,<br />
and interpreting guidelines on compliance with agency and <strong>University</strong> policies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last ten years have seen drastic changes in the proposal submission and<br />
grant/contract award processes. Sponsor efforts to go paperless have led to a<br />
tremendous increase in electronic submissions and award documentation, replacing<br />
costly use <strong>of</strong> shipping out-going, overnight mailings, that <strong>of</strong>ten included multiple copies<br />
<strong>of</strong> proposals.<br />
SERVICE TO UA<br />
<strong>The</strong> ORSSP functions as a service unit within <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>. This <strong>of</strong>fice has<br />
made significant efforts to reach out to faculty and staff to educate them about<br />
sponsored programs, increase notification to faculty <strong>of</strong> grant opportunities, and increase<br />
communication and networking among faculty members. To that end, over the last<br />
several years, the ORSSP has implemented the following services and programs to the<br />
UA community:<br />
o In an effort to increase transparency and inform the <strong>University</strong> community, in<br />
2005-2006 the ORSSP began collecting and reporting both proposal<br />
submissions and award dollars, by percentage <strong>of</strong> credit.<br />
o In 2006, the ORSSP began distributing daily Opportunity Briefs. This daily email<br />
is sent out to faculty members to provide information about selected funding<br />
opportunities as well as special announcements.<br />
o In 2009-20<strong>10</strong> the ORSSP implemented an annual reception to gather faculty<br />
receiving external funding from the previous year and new faculty to <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> community. This event serves in both recognition and<br />
appreciation <strong>of</strong> the active research faculty members. <strong>The</strong> event also allows for<br />
new faculty members to network with established research faculty. Many<br />
introductions have been made with the goal <strong>of</strong> creating future research<br />
collaborations.<br />
o In April, 2009, the ORSSP hosted NIH Day, an all-day regional conference held<br />
at Quaker Square for nearly 200 attendees from as far away as West Virginia<br />
and Kentucky. <strong>The</strong> event featured five representatives from different directorates<br />
and departments, who <strong>of</strong>fered a variety <strong>of</strong> presentations throughout the day. <strong>The</strong><br />
16
presentations covered, in part, fundamentals <strong>of</strong> NIH proposal submission,<br />
budgeting, the peer review process and SBIR/STTR issues. Sessions were<br />
geared to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the beginning researcher, as well as more<br />
experienced researchers. <strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the event was to <strong>of</strong>fer useful information<br />
for all attendees. A regional conference focusing on a different sponsor is<br />
currently being planned to be held in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2011.<br />
o In 2009-20<strong>10</strong>, the ORSSP began hosting the ―Research for Lunch.‖ <strong>The</strong>se<br />
brown bag lunches provided research faculty with an opportunity to talk about<br />
their research. UA faculty are invited to present their current research in an<br />
informal lunch setting. <strong>The</strong> lunches are held in the Student Union and advertised<br />
campus-wide in the E-Mail Digest, and Opportunity Briefs.<br />
o Also, in 2009-20<strong>10</strong>, ORSSP Director Katie Watkins-Wendell, along with<br />
Associate Controller Heather Kraus, created the Sponsored Programs<br />
Administration Training Series (SPATS). This series consists <strong>of</strong> 1.5 hour<br />
workshops geared towards departmental staff and administrators who work with<br />
grant and contract funding. Beginning in 20<strong>10</strong>-2011, the SPATS series will <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
―Introductory‖ as well as ―Advanced‖ Series seminars.<br />
o <strong>The</strong> ORSSP is responsible for administering the <strong>University</strong>’s pool <strong>of</strong> start-up<br />
money. Dr. Newkome was instrumental in increasing start-up funding by 200%.<br />
While this funding assists in recruiting new faculty members to UA, its primary<br />
purpose allows new faculty, from a wide-variety <strong>of</strong> disciplines, to receive funding<br />
and enable them to outfit their laboratory space, purchase research equipment,<br />
and travel to pr<strong>of</strong>essional conferences. In essence, these funds enable select<br />
new faculty to begin their research endeavors with the necessary tools for<br />
success.<br />
Our faculty are able to achieve outstanding results in research through the assistance <strong>of</strong><br />
ORSSP services. On the following pages, we exhibit the achievements <strong>of</strong> our research<br />
faculty over the past <strong>10</strong> years.<br />

In the last <strong>10</strong> years, the number <strong>of</strong> UA’s active primary investigators (PIs) has increased<br />
12%, and the number <strong>of</strong> awards has increased 4%; however, award dollars have<br />
increase 121%. This can be attributed to UA’s research excellence, which allows the<br />
faculty to actively seek larger grants, including dedicated centers, such as the College<br />
<strong>of</strong> Engineering’s Ohio Transportation Center, funded by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Transportation.<br />

Despite the economy, 2009-20<strong>10</strong> proposal dollars are 7.6% higher than in 2000-01,<br />
although down from a record high <strong>of</strong> $233 million in 2007-08. It may be helpful to note<br />
that proposal dollars reflect the total dollars requested for the entire period <strong>of</strong> the<br />
proposed research project. If awarded, many awards are received in single year<br />
increments, thereby spreading the award dollars for a single award over many years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>, once again, reached a new high in research and sponsored<br />
programs award dollars in 2009-20<strong>10</strong>. This was accomplished in the midst <strong>of</strong> both the<br />
nation’s and the state’s worst economic downturns in decades. With sponsors having<br />
fewer dollars to spend, UA’s increase is a direct reflection <strong>of</strong> the timely, cutting-edge,<br />
and important research work being done by our research faculty.<br />

A DECADE IN TRANSITION<br />
At the turn <strong>of</strong> the 21 st century, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> President, Dr. Luis Proenza, and the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees began an initiative to emphasize the growth, development, and status<br />
<strong>of</strong> the research capability <strong>of</strong> the institution. To that end, <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong><br />
introduced Dr. George Newkome as the new Vice President for Research in 2001. Dr.<br />
Newkome’s first priority was to establish an efficient intellectual property (IP)<br />
management system.<br />
Dr. Newkome enlisted the services <strong>of</strong> two seasoned business attorneys to create a<br />
technology management <strong>of</strong>fice (Office <strong>of</strong> Technology Transfer) as a part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>’s Office <strong>of</strong> Research. <strong>The</strong> OTT’s objectives are to identify, evaluate, protect<br />
and commercialize the results <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>’s research and development programs.<br />
Under Ohio statutes, any inventions made by employees <strong>of</strong> a public institution, or<br />
through the use <strong>of</strong> public facilities, belong to the state. Ownership <strong>of</strong> the invention is<br />
thus transferred from the inventor to the institution. Further, under the federal Bayh-<br />
Dole laws, institutions may acquire titles to the inventions made under federal funding<br />
and are required to commercialize the inventions for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the society, the<br />
institution and the inventors.<br />
While these statutes provided a framework and requirement for the commercialization <strong>of</strong><br />
university inventions, there were also rules and statutes that inhibited full<br />
commercialization opportunities. For example, neither the inventors nor the <strong>University</strong><br />
could own equity in startup companies that used the inventions, nor provide facilities to<br />
assist in startup operations. Prohibitions against indemnifications also curtailed some<br />
research and commercialization opportunities, and strict interpretations <strong>of</strong> conflict <strong>of</strong><br />
interest rules provided additional barriers.<br />
To address and overcome these obstacles, <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees,<br />
established the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> Research Foundation (UARF) in 2001. Based on a<br />
model created and developed by Dr. Newkome at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> South Florida, and<br />
currently the model for the Florida public university system, UARF’s mission is to<br />
support the <strong>University</strong>. UARF is a separate corporation governed by an independent<br />
board and, thus, can operate outside <strong>of</strong> the foregoing state constraints regarding the<br />
<strong>University</strong>’s activities. Under contract with the <strong>University</strong>, UARF manages the<br />
<strong>University</strong>’s commercialization activities as well as industry-sponsored research<br />
projects.<br />
24
ASSESSING THE REGION<br />
That sets the stage for describing in more detail the <strong>University</strong>’s technology transfer<br />
activities in 2001, and the ensuing actions <strong>of</strong> the OTT and UARF in the following<br />
decade. Drawing liberally from, and in many instances directly quoting Associate Vice<br />
President Wayne Watkins’ June 20<strong>10</strong> Congressional testimony, as well as his paper<br />
entitled ―Strategies for Small Technology Transfer Offices: Doing More, with Less,‖<br />
when we arrived in <strong>Akron</strong> in 2001, we found a public urban university, 25,000 students,<br />
exceptionally strong programs in advanced materials and chemistry and, specifically,<br />
polymers and plastics (UA is a leading institution in polymers). <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
possesses a quality engineering school, a relatively unknown, but outstanding law<br />
school with a strong intellectual property focus, and a business school with a newly<br />
formed entrepreneurship program and strong sales, marketing and international<br />
business programs. <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> does not have medical, veterinary or<br />
pharmacy schools although there is a freestanding regional medical and pharmacy<br />
school (Northeastern Ohio Universities College <strong>of</strong> Medicine and Pharmacy) with which<br />
UA is affiliated. Despite just over $20M in research expenditures in 2000, and a portfolio<br />
<strong>of</strong> 350 patents, <strong>Akron</strong> had no significant licensing income and just one <strong>University</strong> spin<strong>of</strong>f<br />
company.<br />
Northeast Ohio is home to four public universities, but is struggling economically due to<br />
the loss <strong>of</strong> steel and automobile industries, and especially rubber and tire<br />
manufacturing. <strong>The</strong> region has been trying to redefine itself as the polymer capital <strong>of</strong> the<br />
world, and has a good number <strong>of</strong> large, medium, and small manufacturing companies,<br />
many <strong>of</strong> which are involved in research. Unfortunately, many manufacturing companies<br />
lose ground to outsourcing and the realities <strong>of</strong> the new global economy. We believed<br />
this area was long on technology and capital (although quite conservative capital) and<br />
short on entrepreneurship, particularly technology-based entrepreneurship. We found a<br />
region with its greatest opportunities for growth in the strategic clusters <strong>of</strong> advanced<br />
materials and biosciences. Also worthy <strong>of</strong> mention is that we found a city that<br />
experienced its heyday in the middle <strong>of</strong> the 20th century. <strong>Akron</strong>, Ohio, was considered<br />
by many to be America's All American city, notwithstanding that it lived in Cleveland's<br />
shadows.<br />
Our assessment uncovered the existence <strong>of</strong> silos …both figurative and literal. <strong>The</strong><br />
former Quaker Oats grain silos, located in downtown <strong>Akron</strong>, provided a great metaphor<br />
for our efforts as they had been transformed into a modern hotel. We frequently use<br />
visuals <strong>of</strong> the before and after silos to communicate the message that our assets,<br />
although historically figurative silos, can become effective community assets with vision<br />
and commitment to change. <strong>The</strong> figurative silos included lack <strong>of</strong> collaboration among<br />
the universities, industries, municipalities, and chambers <strong>of</strong> commerce. We also found<br />
25
silos among <strong>University</strong> departments, colleges, programs, pr<strong>of</strong>essors, and<br />
administrators. We found silos among capital providers, entrepreneurs and technology<br />
providers and an industry base that was frequently very closed and internally focused.<br />
Like the visionary who saw a potential hotel in the Quaker Oats silos, we sought to find<br />
potential in the resources <strong>of</strong> Northeast Ohio and <strong>Akron</strong>.<br />
Some positive signs for economic growth included the <strong>University</strong>'s commitment to<br />
creating the new materials for the new economy, as well as a university president, who<br />
is a national and international leader in technology transfer and research related<br />
engagement. It was the outreach and technology transfer leadership <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong><br />
president that provided Dr. Newkome the opportunity and flexibility to pursue an<br />
aggressive strategy to achieve the <strong>University</strong>’s research and regional economic<br />
development goals.<br />
BEGINNING TO BUILD<br />
One <strong>of</strong> our first steps was to engage the faculty, some <strong>of</strong> the more talented <strong>of</strong> whom<br />
had become frustrated with the <strong>University</strong>’s technology transfer management. Many <strong>of</strong><br />
these faculty members had developed a mistrust <strong>of</strong> the system, and had little desire to<br />
participate in achieving the new goals. Through active support, education, openness,<br />
rapid response, and flexibility in meeting needs, many key researchers are now<br />
supporters <strong>of</strong> the Office <strong>of</strong> Research efforts. Still, a number <strong>of</strong> state statutes and<br />
compulsory rules inhibited the progress that was sought by the president and trustees.<br />
Thus, we formed a <strong>University</strong>-related research foundation to facilitate <strong>University</strong><br />
technology transfer, to administer industry contracts with the <strong>University</strong>, and to house<br />
our outreach efforts.<br />
A separate, stand-alone research foundation provides us with a more entrepreneurial<br />
organization to respond to industry opportunities and needs. It allows us to hold equity,<br />
and provide indemnities to private research sponsors. We formed the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Akron</strong> Research Foundation (UARF), as a not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it, 501(c)(3), with a corporate<br />
charter to benefit the <strong>University</strong> and our community.<br />
We invited members to the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors, who had a passion for the community<br />
and understood the role <strong>of</strong> a university in economic competiveness, to become part <strong>of</strong><br />
our community partnership. <strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> the directors are not UA personnel. We<br />
chose directors who had a healthy perspective <strong>of</strong> investing resources for an expected<br />
long-term benefit. UARF entered into an agreement with <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong><br />
allowing UARF to participate and administer all <strong>of</strong> UA’s industry-sponsored research<br />
agreements. In this capacity, UARF essentially functions as the university's fiscal agent.<br />
26
UARF receives all funding, pays the direct costs to the university, allocates the F&A<br />
portion to the university units as per policy, including the department, college, legal<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice, research <strong>of</strong>fice and others and keeps the balance to be used for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>, as determined by the UARF directors. UARF also acts as the fiscal agent on<br />
all licensing agreements, receiving funds and allocating them to stakeholders according<br />
to <strong>University</strong> IP policy, including the inventors, their research programs, the chairs and<br />
deans. <strong>The</strong> remaining amounts likewise are used for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> as<br />
determined by the UARF directors.<br />
We considered the reallocation <strong>of</strong> regional assets for the mutual benefit <strong>of</strong> asset<br />
owners. We looked at libraries, buildings, laboratories, people, and patents in our region<br />
and then asked ourselves if reallocation <strong>of</strong> such assets would be <strong>of</strong> benefit to<br />
stakeholders. As a result, six regional companies donated their library holdings to <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>, thus increasing <strong>University</strong> holdings and positively enhancing<br />
academic metrics. In most cases, the books remained at the corporate facilities. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> assumed management <strong>of</strong> the libraries and provided library services to the<br />
companies for fees, which resulted in overall cost reductions to the companies.<br />
Importantly, it made a wealth <strong>of</strong> library assets heret<strong>of</strong>ore in private collections available<br />
to the regional public.<br />
UARF also occupied excess laboratory space at a company to house a chemical pilot<br />
plant facility acquired with state <strong>of</strong> Ohio funding. <strong>The</strong> facility is operated by UARF on<br />
behalf <strong>of</strong> paying customers, who need occasional scale up and pilot plant facilities. <strong>The</strong><br />
company that provided the space receives use <strong>of</strong> the pilot plant as its payment for the<br />
facility. <strong>The</strong> company also agreed to open up its unused <strong>of</strong>fice and lab space to UA. We<br />
looked at excess capacity <strong>of</strong> equipment at companies and arranged for the donation <strong>of</strong><br />
equipment to UARF which was then transferred to the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH<br />
In our discussions with industry, we also look for non-core intellectual property that<br />
UARF can either bundle with its intellectual property, or otherwise assist in the<br />
exploitation. Likewise, we looked at human resources and for opportunities to co-locate<br />
people. We wanted to have more industry scientists and engineers involved in the<br />
academic world and vice versa.<br />
We considered how we could build the infrastructure and trust necessary for an<br />
effective licensing and technology commercialization program. A first step was to<br />
update the <strong>University</strong> intellectual property related policies. We made several<br />
modifications; the most significant <strong>of</strong> which were designating the research foundation as<br />
the fiscal agent for licensing, and revising the royalty sharing. After patent costs are<br />
27
eimbursed, 40% goes to the inventors and <strong>10</strong>% to their research programs. Thus, as<br />
we like to say, 50% is <strong>of</strong> direct benefit to the inventors. <strong>The</strong> remaining 50% is shared<br />
with the department, college, and UARF.<br />
We promoted inventions by recognizing inventors. We sponsored periodic receptions for<br />
all inventors on campus and created an Inventors Wall <strong>of</strong> Fame displaying all patented<br />
inventions with various colored stars indicating the range <strong>of</strong> licensing revenues<br />
received. <strong>The</strong>se efforts have been well-received by the faculty, and we have<br />
experienced substantial growth in disclosures and patent applications.<br />
We also experienced significant royalty revenue growth. Following the creation <strong>of</strong><br />
UARF, we approached a company that was successfully and legally using a UA<br />
developed technology, but was not required to make payments reflecting the fair value<br />
<strong>of</strong> the technology. We were able to upgrade the license and thus received a large onetime<br />
payment which allowed for UARF to reward the inventors. This action generated<br />
good will among the faculty and other stakeholders.<br />
We spent considerable time with faculty inventors, seeking to understand the<br />
technology opportunity and then developing a commercialization strategy. As a result,<br />
we now have 61 technologies either licensed or optioned to license.<br />
In our efforts to increase research funding, we specifically focused on industry-driven<br />
research. We approached many companies to seek understanding <strong>of</strong> their challenges<br />
and opportunities. UARF representatives asked, "What can we do for you?" One such<br />
company was RPM International, a large holding company <strong>of</strong> several specialty coatings<br />
and sealants companies (DAP®, Dayglow®, Rustoleum®). <strong>The</strong>y were interested in<br />
having experts help them source and exploit emerging technology. We formed a team<br />
<strong>of</strong> UARF experts, primarily from retired industry personnel, to provide these innovation<br />
services. <strong>The</strong> Research and Development managers <strong>of</strong> the RPM subsidiaries now have<br />
their annual meeting at <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>. We continue to report to them on our<br />
innovation services, and in turn, learn about their challenges and opportunities. Our<br />
team also meets periodically with subsidiaries at their locations. <strong>The</strong> effort with RPM<br />
resulted in a joint venture startup company to develop a new product conceived in the<br />
process. When UARF receives funds from sponsors and donors, the services are<br />
typically performed by the <strong>University</strong> and other providers. Generally, UARF obtains an<br />
equity interest in the new company.<br />
As a result, we experienced overall research funding increases. <strong>The</strong>re are 115 active<br />
industry-sponsored research agreements and the number is increasing. <strong>The</strong> key to the<br />
growth is the careful consideration <strong>of</strong> the challenges and needs <strong>of</strong> our individual<br />
sponsors.<br />
28
We looked for excess <strong>of</strong>fice and lab space for our emerging enterprises. We noticed a<br />
"for lease" sign on two four-story buildings adjacent to campus in an area targeted by<br />
the <strong>University</strong> and the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> for revitalization. We approached the owners and<br />
within a year, purchased the properties to form the <strong>Akron</strong> Innovation Campus. We now<br />
have 16 tenants and house our UARF outreach efforts and several <strong>of</strong> our supported<br />
emerging companies. We charge competitive rates on standard leases and provide<br />
space to emerging enterprises in exchange for equity. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Akron</strong> Innovation Campus<br />
creates a location for <strong>University</strong>-related innovation activity and the real estate becomes<br />
a nice visual promotion vehicle for our efforts.<br />
Of importance to the region’s economic growth, we support the formation <strong>of</strong> new<br />
enterprises including <strong>University</strong>-based startups. Overall, we have formed or supported<br />
the formation <strong>of</strong> 35 companies. Of those supported, not all are licensees <strong>of</strong> UA, and not<br />
all are spin-<strong>of</strong>fs by definition <strong>of</strong> the Association <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> Technology Managers<br />
(AUTM). Some were formed to facilitate access to SBIR and STTR funds. We formed<br />
one to demonstrate our commitment to action within 48 hours <strong>of</strong> our first in-person<br />
meeting with two international companies that wanted to form a joint venture with a U.S.<br />
presence. We also had an interim management group designated.<br />
In the <strong>Akron</strong> Polymer Systems model, we formed a university/faculty spin-<strong>of</strong>f company<br />
to manufacture a compound already licensed to an end-user, who needed product. We<br />
had the scientific expertise in the faculty inventor and his graduate students. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
now a company <strong>of</strong> about 15 employees, many <strong>of</strong> whom are graduates <strong>of</strong> the UA<br />
polymer program.<br />
As another example <strong>of</strong> our outreach activity, we pursued licensing discussions with an<br />
out-<strong>of</strong>-state company, which led to the formation <strong>of</strong> an Ohio affiliate company to develop<br />
and exploit ceramic filtration technology. <strong>The</strong> move was not a requirement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
license, but the company saw value in the linkages and infrastructure we created at the<br />
<strong>University</strong> and moved to <strong>Akron</strong>.<br />
ACQUISITION OF PERSONNEL<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the innovative benefits <strong>of</strong> the research foundation model is the ability to attract<br />
and use skilled personnel for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> without state support funding.<br />
In 2000, the university’s technology transfer business was handled by two state<br />
employees—an Assistant General Counsel and a Coordinator. Today, there are three<br />
Technology Transfer Office positions paid for by state funds—the Director, an Associate<br />
Vice President for Research, and an Administrative Assistant. In addition, there are 18<br />
participants in the Office’s programs including full- and part-time employees, volunteers,<br />
student assistants and interns, who are not compensated by the state. This staff has<br />
29
permitted and provided for the expansion <strong>of</strong> services, and fulfills roles, such as:<br />
technology data management, marketing, licensing, start-up support, real estate<br />
management, community outreach and public-private support. Financial support for<br />
these participants comes from non-state IDC accounts, UARF, and its for-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
companies: <strong>University</strong> Innovation Ventures, and <strong>Akron</strong> Innovation Campus.<br />
An example <strong>of</strong> the foregoing benefits is our enhanced ability to pursue entrepreneurship<br />
support. This has become one <strong>of</strong> our most important and rewarding strategies. We<br />
identified and appointed outstanding retirees as Senior Fellows <strong>of</strong> our Research<br />
Foundation. We were fortunate to find two kindred spirits who were completing their<br />
industry careers and were willing to invest their time, talents and networks in fostering<br />
innovation at the interface <strong>of</strong> industry and academia. <strong>The</strong>se talented people are coming<br />
to appreciate and respect the academic culture while helping the academy learn to<br />
better interface with industry. We provided them with a title, a computer, a telephone, an<br />
email address, some expense money and the opportunity to be connected to emerging<br />
enterprises, where they can negotiate equity positions without the conflicts <strong>of</strong> interest<br />
inherent with those who are employees <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> or its research foundation.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are neither employees <strong>of</strong>, nor receive a salary from the <strong>University</strong>. We then turned<br />
this well qualified group loose with our full support. <strong>The</strong>y became responsible for:<br />
Providing assessments, innovation and ideation services to regional companies,<br />
Being the primary drivers for several spin-<strong>of</strong>f companies,<br />
Advising start-ups,<br />
Providing onsite innovation services for innovation campus tenants,<br />
Increasing recognition <strong>of</strong> UA’s technology expertise to multinational Fortune 50<br />
companies,<br />
Linking faculty expertise and programs with regional companies,<br />
Establishing an angel network and pursuing an early stage investment fund, and<br />
Identifying, developing and securing a multi-million dollar sponsored program for<br />
the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
In addition to senior fellows, we have entrepreneurs-in-residence, one <strong>of</strong> whom is also a<br />
part-time employee <strong>of</strong> the chamber <strong>of</strong> commerce. This shared personnel mechanism<br />
improved the cooperation with the local chamber <strong>of</strong> commerce. <strong>The</strong> entrepreneurs-inresidence<br />
also support the senior fellows.<br />
OUTREACH<br />
<strong>The</strong> senior fellows formed and lead, with UARF assistance, the successful ARCHAngels<br />
investment network. <strong>The</strong> network is comprised <strong>of</strong> approximately 500 members and<br />
meets quarterly to review investment opportunities. As many as 80 students from<br />
regional colleges and universities attend the meetings as part <strong>of</strong> their courses in<br />
30
entrepreneurship, and many find mentors and student projects within the network. <strong>The</strong><br />
senior fellows conduct the meetings and screen the projects to present to the network.<br />
To date, 55 companies have presented with half receiving investment funding, resulting<br />
in more than $75M in investments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> senior fellows conceptualized and implemented, again with UARF support, open<br />
innovation seminars for regional companies. We have been assisted in these efforts by<br />
representatives from Procter & Gamble and the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Pittsburgh who are in the<br />
forefront <strong>of</strong> open innovation promotion. We have approximately <strong>10</strong>0 business leaders,<br />
policy makers and innovators, who meet from time-to-time to discuss and practice open<br />
innovation.<br />
Encouraging student entrepreneurial development, UARF and the UA have arranged for<br />
more than 150 industrial assistantships with local businesses. UARF also provides<br />
scholarships to selected programs, and is pursuing a student-run seed capital fund as<br />
well as a women's angel network<br />
Seeking broader regional alliances, UARF personnel are made available to provide<br />
technology transfer and innovation services to other regional institutions that do not<br />
have the critical mass to have a full technology transfer and innovation services group.<br />
Thus, we have provided services as needed to Cleveland State <strong>University</strong>, Youngstown<br />
State <strong>University</strong>, and Lorain County Community College. We are also in discussions<br />
with local hospitals and industry to assist them with technology transfer and intellectual<br />
property management services. Perceiving a reluctance for some regional institutions<br />
to use UARF services, we formed the Ohio Research Foundation as a vehicle to<br />
provide innovation services to regional partners to the extent they are interested and<br />
find it <strong>of</strong> value. We also formed an innovation alliance with Lorain County Community<br />
College, a regional higher education partner that has been successful in operating a<br />
seed capital initiative. Rather than compete and start from scratch, we joined with them<br />
in submitting for state funding for a seed capital program. Similarly, we are participating<br />
in the Austen BioInnovation Institute in <strong>Akron</strong> and expect many benefits from the<br />
collaboration, including, but not limited to, faculty and research funding.<br />
Looking forward, we have much to learn and we have been more successful in some<br />
areas than in others. We are seeking to be better integrated with all colleges at <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Akron</strong>. We believe entrepreneurship needs to be a campus-wide effort,<br />
much broader than a program contained in a single college. We have enhanced our<br />
relationships with faculty, and hope to continue to transform the silos that sometimes<br />
exist in colleges and departments.<br />

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

<strong>The</strong> results <strong>of</strong> these activities are illustrated on further charts. While licensing revenues<br />
have recently fallen as some key patents have expired, an upward trend in revenues<br />
should resume as more recent technologies are commercialized by our licensing and<br />
startup partners.<br />
