Several studies indicate that commercialization of federally funded R & D technologies to private sector remains low. In an extension of research demonstrating relative effectiveness of various technology-transfer mechanisms used by the Department of Energy (DOE) in transferring federally funded R & D technologies, this study quantitatively analyzed 52 Industrial Technology Program (ITP) funded R & D technologies, from 1993 through 2006, to understand commercialization success of DOE's funded R & D technologies, based on the correlative significance between independent variables (R & D durations and levels of funding) and dependent variable (technology commercialization output). No statistically significant linear relationship was found between the studied variables. the R2 (the coefficient of multiple determination) value indicates that only three percent (0.03) of the change in the output of commercialized technologies can be explained by the change in the two independent variables. the results of this study have led to an important conclusion that the research, development, and deployment (RD & D) of federally funded energy technologies is complex and a non-linear process. the problem requires a consideration of other factors and a research design that can accommodate the complexity involved. However, as determined by this study, the ITP technology commercialization output (success rate) of 22% is nearly two times as high as the 14% Booz-Allen estimate for the rest of U.S. industry. A quantitative research (such as this study) that attempts to understand the relative significance of correlational relationship between R & D variables appears to offer insufficient explanations as to why the federal government is not getting high technology commercialization output from its dollar investments in R & D. Some qualitative research approaches could move this important research to the next level in the future. Further research in this area should focus on causal effects between R & D variables. the study should attempt to identify the effect that could be caused by an early involvement of angel investors, venture capitalists, and end-users of technologies during RD & D. Successful commercialization of energy technologies requires targeting the most promising innovations that may be jointly supported by public and private sector. A few suggestions on how to improve commercialization of federally funded R & D are outlined in Section 10.3 of this study.

This collection of papersby American and Russian specialistsaddresses a variety of legal, regulatory, institutional, and financial issues that can promote or hinder technology commercialization. The book is the result of a series of workshops organized by the National Research Council with the Russian Academy of Sciences on commercialization of technologies, particularly those developed at research and educational institutions. Technology Commercialization concludes with a list of actions, programs, and policies which warrant further consideration as Russia tries to improve the success of technology commercialization. This book will be of interest to those concerned with small-business development in post-communist states, university technology management, and comparative technology commercialization.

Public interest in approaches that might provide prescription drugs at lower cost, particularly for the elderly, has rekindled discussion over the role the federal government plays in facilitating the creation of new pharmaceuticals for the marketplace. The government traditionally funds R&D to meet the mission requirements of the federal departments and agencies. It also supports work in areas where there is an identified need for research, primarily basic research, not being performed in the private sector. Congressional initiatives have expanded to include the promotion of technological innovation to meet other national needs, particularly the economic growth that flows from the use of new and improved goods and services. Various laws facilitate commercialization of federally funded R&D through technology transfer, cooperative R&D, and intellectual property rights.

The topic of this book, the commercialization of public-sector technology, continues to grow in importance in the United States and sirnilarsocieties. The issues involved are relevant to many roles including those of policy makers, managers, patent attorneys, licensing agents, and technical staff members of public technology sources. Institutions increasingly involved in the process include federal and other governmentallaboratories and their related agencies, public universities and their state governments, public and private transfer agents and, of course, all the private recipients of public technology. Scarcely a day goes by without a significant event related to technology transfer and commercialization. The popular business press is regularly carrying articles addressing the issues, explaining new initiatives and describing events of notable success or failure.[l] As an example of current important events, the Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) is forrnu lating its initiatives totransfer public technology and promote technology-based publiclprivate partnerships as a collaboration between the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the National Science Foundation (NSF) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department of Energy, Defense Programs (DOE/DP).

Materials are important in the pursuit of virtually every human endeavor. Advances in materials are applied not only in advanced technological systems such as spacecraft, jet engines, computers, and telecommunications but also in a world of more familiar applications from automobiles to floor coverings to fishing rods. This book addresses the factors that impede the transition of new materials from concepts into commercial use. It identifies policies and actions that government and industry, together with universities, can take to remove these impediments. Incentives to accelerate the commercialization of advanced materials are suggested, and recommendations are presented on ways to stimulate competitive commercialization of materials by government, industry, and academia.
