SOURCE: NRC Phase II Survey.

Advanced Targeting Systems, in San Diego, has forged an extended and very successful research partnership with a senior scientist at the University of Utah. Other companies have made similar arrangements.

Just ov er half (54 percent) of all respondents indicated that there had been involvement by university faculty, graduate students, and/or a university itself in developed technologies. This involvement took a number of forms, as shown by Table 4-25.

The wide range of roles played by university staff and students indicates once more the multiple ways in which SBIR projects feed the knowledge base of the nation. Involvement in these projects provides opportunities for university staff different than those available within the academy.
