Academic research funds

Much, though not all, of the scientific knowledge produced around the globe has traditionally been handled in this fashion. One thinks here of the scientific research performed by government research facilities or of academic research funded either by government or by private donors who wish the product of that research to be shared, free of charges as widely as possible, on a global basis. One occasionally sees proposals to apply this approach also to pharmaceutical research. Various models could be used to that end.

Academic research funds If you are in an academic environment, think very carefully about how far you can progress the technology on grant funding. In many cases, your academic institution will co-own the invention if it is derived from research at their institution. 

Industry should also continue to commit resources to academic research, for reasons that go far deeper than the desirability of additional funds. The development of any engineering field, and particularly one as closely linked to manufacturing as chemical engineering, needs the intellectual guidance that can only come from an industry with a stake in research outcomes. Also, industry has to be linked to academia so that new laboratory results can be rapidly transferred to product and process design. An industry committed to financial sponsorship and personnel exchanges with academia will make sure that the crucial industrial intellectual involvement needed for success exists. Thus, the committee mges that ... 

Table 10.1 summarizes a range of possible funding mechanisms for research. Many of these mechanisms are well known and need no further elaboration. Some of them, however, are new mechanisms being proposed by the committee and are briefly described below. The great number of possible support mechanisms for academic research should be placed in the... 

We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Petroleum Research Fund in providing financial aid for the travel of several of the overseas academic participants, and also that of the many officers of the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical Society who helped to make the symposium possible.

The distribution of funds for academic research by field has shifted as well. In 2000, the largest research and development expenditures in science and engineering were in the medical sciences, biological sciences, and engineering (Jones, 2003). Funding was such an important issue for one interviewee that they were ambivalent about recruiting students to careers in chemistry ... 

For HCS to be fully accepted by academia, several conditions will need to be fulfilled. Current HCS instruments are closed black boxes and their expensive maintenance contracts do not allow any hardware or software modifications for adaptation to the diverse needs of academic research. Academic research is typically more diversified than pharmaceutical industry research and the instruments need to be more customizable than they are now. In addition, the image and data formats need to be accessible and open. In academia data is shared between collaborators and will be analyzed with various, partly custom-made software. Therefore the data needs to be accessible and open. Lastly, the yearly costs of maintenance contracts and licenses are particularly difficult to finance in academic research that relies heavily on grants. Grants typically do not cover licensing costs or if they do, when the grant runs out, new sources of funding must be found. In reality, those costs must generally be covered by institutional funds. 

We gratefully acknowledge the Robert A. Welch Foundation (Grant number W-1552) for financial support of this work. BJA also thanks the Beckman Foundation for support during the 05-06 academic year. Acknowledgement is made to the donors of the American Chemical Society s Petroleum Research Fund supporting the CO oxidation reactor system construction. 

It is with pleasure that the authors acknowledge the support of the National University of Singapore s Eastern European Research Scientist and Student Program to allow I. H. to visit Singapore where this chapter was commenced and largely written. Research in xanthate chemistry conducted in our laboratories were funded by the Australian Research Council, National University of Singapore and by the National Council of Academic Research, Bucharest, Romania.
