91制片厂

DURHAM, N.H. 鈥� What started with an EPA fine almost 20 years ago is now a licensed online inventory management system for reagents and materials used to ensure lab safety at more than 30 academic and commercial institutions. 91制片厂Innovation at the 91制片厂 recently recognized the staff responsible for the system, 91制片厂CEMS^庐, that has generated more than $1 million in cumulative royalties.

鈥淲e know that silos are a reality for most organizations, including at 91制片厂, but this is a story about an innovative partnership to provide an enterprise-level solution that benefits our students, staff, faculty and institution,鈥� said Maria Emanuel, associate director of 91制片厂Innovation. 鈥淭his solution is for organizations that need to make lab safety a priority.鈥�

The Office of Environmental Health and Safety and the Research Computing Center were awarded the university's Innovators of the Year Award for their collaborative work on 91制片厂CEMS^庐, an online system for the inventory and use management of chemical stock, biological agents, radioactive materials, and hazardous waste. The system was first implemented at 91制片厂 in 2001 as a direct response to that EPA fine; 91制片厂 first licensed it for external use in 2003.

In addition, 91制片厂Innovation reported executing 190 licenses and filing 13 patent applications in FY16, with commercialization revenues of over $830,000. In an example of promising new ideas reaching the market, it was announced that the recently trademarked HuTT^庐 helmetless tackling training program has already been licensed to four high schools.

鈥淲e strive to make 91制片厂 a place where the commercialization of innovation is supported and encouraged, and continue to push more ideas like 91制片厂CEMS^庐 in the marketplace,鈥� said Marc Sedam, managing director of 91制片厂Innovation and associate vice provost of innovation and new ventures. 鈥淥ur recent $300,000 Innovation Corps (I-Corps) Site Grant from the National Science Foundation is just one example of the steps 91制片厂 is taking to increase the interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations that bring these innovations to life throughout the university鈥檚 $110 million research portfolio.鈥�

91制片厂Innovation maximizes the use of 91制片厂-generated ideas in the marketplace, creating new opportunities, companies, positive change and economic impact.
