In December 2006, the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) launched a new organization, the University-Industry-Demonstration Partnership (UIDP). The mission of the UIDP is to nourish and expand collaborative partnerships between university and industry in the United States. Recent studies show the inability of U.S. universities to quickly arrive at agreement on intellectual property (IP) terms with their industry sponsors puts them at a competitive disadvantage compared to foreign universities. Industry-sponsored research is stagnant in the U.S. and booming elsewhere. The significance of the problem is not lost on the universities, 49 of which have signed up as members of the UIDP. This award will successfully brokering a holistic solution for the nation by proactively engaging small companies in UIDP discussions, alongside the 18 (and growing) number of large companies. Small/startup companies are a primary engine of U.S. economic growth, and a non-trivial outcome of university research. However, the price of UIDP membership may be a barrier for small companies, which consider memberships generally as a budget luxury. This award will provide funds to incentivize those companies for involvement in the UIDP, so that the solution set arrived at by UIDP members will serve all of the U.S. interests: universities, large companies, and small companies alike.

2006年12月，政府-大学-产业研究圆桌会议(GUIRR)成立了一个新组织，即大学-产业-示范伙伴关系(UIDP)。 UIDP 的使命是培育和扩大美国大学与工业界之间的合作伙伴关系。最近的研究表明，美国大学无法与行业赞助商迅速就知识产权（IP）条款达成协议，这使得它们与外国大学相比处于竞争劣势。行业资助的研究在美国停滞不前，而在其他地方却蓬勃发展。大学并没有忽视这个问题的重要性，其中 49 所大学已经注册成为 UIDP 的成员。该奖项将通过积极让小公司与 18 家（且还在不断增加）的大公司一起积极参与 UIDP 讨论，成功地为国家促成整体解决方案。小型/初创公司是美国经济增长的主要引擎，也是大学研究的重要成果。然而，UIDP 会员资格的价格可能对小公司来说是一个障碍，因为这些公司通常将会员资格视为一种预算奢侈品。该奖项将提供资金来激励这些公司参与 UIDP，以便 UIDP 成员提出的解决方案能够服务于美国的所有利益：大学、大公司和小公司。
