Council for Chemical Research

FIGURE A.l Industrial support of academic chemical engineering nearly quadrupled from 1980 to 1986 and is the major factor behind growth in academic funding in this period. Data from Council for Chemical Research.

My first source of information about innovation is the Council for Chemical Research (CCR) study completed in the year 2000. There were two main segments of this CCR study. First, a bibliometric study that looked at the strength of the chemical sciences in the United States was undertaken by Fran Narin and his colleagues at CHI Research. Second, Baruch Lev, of the Stem School of Business at...

Via has 24 patents, 11 publications, and more than 25 invited presentations. He holds a B.S. degree from West Virginia University and a Ph.D. from Ohio State. He attended management training at the Wharton School, Polytechnic U, and other programs. He is an active member of the Council for Chemical Research, served on its Board of Directors from 1995 to 1997 and chaired the Science Education Committee from 1993 to 1995. He chaired the External Research Director s Network from 1995 to 1997 for the Industrial Research Committee. 

E-mail Address wmadison ccrhq.org Web Address www.ccrhq.org The Council for Chemical Research (CCR) is an organization based in Washington, D.C., whose membership represents industry, academia, and government. CCR was formed in 1979 to promote cooperation in basic research and encourage high quality education in the chemical sciences and engineering. 

Thomas Manuel, Council for Chemical Research, Inc. You mentioned a common belief that a very small fraction of university patent offices are profitable. Are there valid data that attest to that It seems to be anecdotal truth, but it s hard to find the numbers. 

Thomas Manuel, Council for Chemical Research, Inc. It s important to iterate some of the things that are implicit in some of the talks here that would refer to what I call a social dimension of collaboration. And the first one is that if you look at the agenda of this workshop, it s sliced into bilateral pieces. The fact is that most collaboration and the most fruitful and the greatest trend for the future is going to be tri- if not multilateral. This is implicit in Professor Wakeham s presentation. 

Thomas Manuel, Council for Chemical Research, Inc. To link Christopher Hill s point with Laren Tolbert s for this discussion, we are dealing with a classic perception in academia that things are priced based on the cost for them. But this is not the case. Things are priced based on their value in the marketplace. And companies, due to the dynamics of the globe today, are forced to be very hard-nosed about their own profitability, getting the results for their shareholders at the lowest possible cost. 

Let me shift gears and talk about the survey from the Council for Chemical Research (CCR) done in July 1997. This was a survey sent to 450 members of the CCR, mostly chairs of chemistry and chemical engineering in the United States, but we also included people overseas in Europe, Japan, and Taiwan. We received almost 200 responses (shown in Figure 5.4) about half of the responses were from the United States and the other half from overseas. 

Thomas Manuel, Council for Chemical Research, Inc. First, the oversight that Andrew Kaldor discussed might have been remedied had the petrochemical industry become involved in the industries of the future roadmap exercise when it was first proposed, which was more or less coincident with that timing. As you said, the purpose of the roadmaps is to identify futuristic targets and provide some ammunition and support for research in those directions. So there is a mechanism. 

Jean H. Futrell is Senior Battelle Fellow and Chief Science Officer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Previously he was Willis F. Harrington Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Delaware. He received a B.S. from Louisiana Polytechnic Institute and a Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley. Futrell s research program focuses on the application of reaction dynamics methods—particularly the use of crossed molecular beams—to investigate the detailed mechanism of ion activation in tandem mass spectrometry. He has served on the NRC s Chemical Sciences Roundtable and was chair of the Council for Chemical Research in 1999. 

C. A. Snook, Dow Chemical, presentation, Council for Chemical Research workshop on PAT, December 13, 2005. 

Dow Chemical was Instrumental in getting the newly established Council for Chemical Research (CCR) off the ground. The first University-Industry Research Conference that eventually led to the founding of CCR was held in Midland, Michigan, in the fall of 1979, Subsequent meetings have been held in Bethlehem, PA (1980), Rochester, NY (1981), and Houston, TX (1982) with each being cohosted by at least one major university and a corporation within the chemical industry. A fifth meeting is scheduled for Boston,...
