Implementing a Knowledge Management Infrastructure

0125380里德本奖项授予密歇根理工大学（牵头机构），用于支持以下36个月的活动。该提案是为了响应创新伙伴关系项目招标（NSF 0179）而提交的。合作伙伴该奖项的合作伙伴包括密歇根理工大学、北卡罗莱纳州立大学、北卡罗莱纳州教堂山大学、美国国家航空航天局、密歇根州经济发展公司、北部创新联盟（NY）和北卡罗莱纳州技术发展局。提议的活动该奖项将支持以下活动：(1)在学术机构中耦合技术转让和赞助的研究项目，(2)通过在线数据库创建学术机构的知识资产清单，(3)通过合作伙伴之间的内部协作关系管理和共享合作伙伴之间的知识资产，以及任何新的合作伙伴。建议创新完成后，集成知识管理基础设施将支持大学与大学以及大学与行业的知识共享。新系统将有助识别和管理学术界的全部知识资产，重点是识别、实施和管理合作机会。知识管理基础设施将很容易被其他学术机构及其合作伙伴复制。创新是一项研究，以确定一个学术机构所拥有的哪些知识具有商业化的潜力，并开发对这些知识进行盘点和管理所需的信息技术。这项研究包括制定方法，以确定当前和未来各私营部门合作伙伴感兴趣的知识。潜在的经济影响这些方法对于学术界认识到其知识产权的价值以及更有效地定位商业化所需的潜在私营部门和政府合作伙伴来说应该是非常宝贵的。潜在的社会影响新的可持续企业带来的总体经济福祉将有利于受影响地区的公民。研究结果将很容易被其他学术机构及其所在地区复制。

0125380 Reed This award is to Michigan Technological University (Lead Institution) to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 0179).PartnersThe partners for this award include Michigan Technological University, North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, NASA, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Upstate Alliance for Innovation (NY), and North Carolina Technological Development Authority.Proposed ActivitiesThe award will support the following activities: (1) coupling technology transfer and sponsored research programs in the academic institutions, (2) create an inventory of knowledge assets at the academic institutions via an on-line data base, (3) managing and sharing knowledge assets among the partners via internal collaborative relationships among the partners, and any new partners.Proposed InnovationWhen completed the integrated knowledge management infrastructure will support university to university as well as university to industry knowledge sharing. The new system will facilitate the recognition and management of the full range of academia's knowledge assets with a sharp focus on identifying, implementing and managing partnership opportunities. The knowledge management infrastructure will be easily replicated by other academic institutions and their partners. The innovation is the research to identify which knowledge an academic institution has that has potential for commercialization plus development of the information technology needed to inventory and manage it. Included in this research is the development of methodology to identify the knowledge of interest to the various private sector partners, both current and future.Potential Economic ImpactThe methodologies should be invaluable to academia to recognize the value of its intellectual property and to target potential private sector and government partners needed for commercialization more effectively.Potential Societal ImpactGeneral economic wellbeing that results from new sustainable businesses will be of benefit to the citizens of the affected regions. The results will be easily replicated by other academic institutions and their regions.
