First, thank you for all the great input I have received on preparing a
research administration glossary. The final product will be on our web site
next week, but if you want to see the work in progress, go to:

Feel free to make suggestions!

Second, I have a new request. We are hoping to identify a successful
technology transfer component "model" within a grant funded "Center"
program, or academic department.

We are preparing a new Center grant proposal which is anticipated to have a
"Technology Transfer" component that would support the developmental
activities of the new center and facilitate movement of  fundamental and
clinical research findings from the laboratory to the marketplace.  If you
have such a component within an existing Center/Department, we would like
some information on how it is structured, how long it has been in place,
 and any assessment of how well it has worked.

Any information/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
