("AUTM") TO ADVANCE ACADEMIC TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER GLOBALLY. 0 0 61957 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TRAINING PROGRAM:EMPOWERED BY THE BAYH-DOLE ACT, ACADEMIC SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS BEGAN TO THINK MORE BROADLY ABOUT APPLYING THEIR SKILLS TO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND EMPLOYMENT IN ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY. NEW OPPORTUNITIES OPENED WITHIN THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROFESSION, STARTING OR WORKING FOR EARLY STAGE COMPANIES, AND WORKING IN RELATED INDUSTRIES, SUCH AS PATENT LAW OR VENTURE CAPITAL.THERE IS A DEMAND FOR WELL-TRAINED TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROFESSIONALS WITH STRONG SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUNDS SPECIALIZING IN INVENTION DISCLOSURE AND ASSESSMENT, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, LICENSING, STARTUP COMPANY CREATION, OPERATIONS AND LEADERSHIP. HOWEVER, THESE PROFESSIONS REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL INDUSTRY TRAINING BEYOND ADVANCED EDUCATION AND RESEARCH.BEGINNING IN FALL 2016, A FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED TO IDENTIFY, TRAIN AND PREPARE GRADUATE STUDENTS AND POST-DOCTORAL SCHOLARS FOR THE TRANSITION FROM BENCH WORK TO ACADEMIC TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROFESSIONALS. THE 10-MONTH PROGRAM INTRODUCES QUALIFIED CANDIDATES TO THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO ENTER AND NAVIGATE THE TECH TRANSFER TERRAIN WITH THE OVERALL GOAL OF PLACING THOSE SCHOLARS IN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES NATIONWIDE. BETTER WORLD PROJECT:IT ISN'T ENOUGH THAT A RESEARCHER OR INVENTOR IS FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING A PRODUCT OR TECHNOLOGY THAT SHOWS GREAT PROMISE. WHAT MATTERS IS SHARING THIS KNOWLEDGE WIDELY AND MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME INTEREST. OTHER INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS MAY HAVE RELATED IDEAS AND COMPLEMENTARY TALENTS THAT CAN TURN A GREAT IDEA INTO A TANGIBLE BETTER WORLD SOLUTION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.AUTM'S BETTER WORLD PROJECT DRAWS FROM YEARS OF CASE STUDIES AND NEWS CONTRIBUTED BY AUTM MEMBERS AND PROMOTES PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW ACADEMIC RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PARTNERSHIPS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN BRINGING LIFE-CHANGING SOLUTIONS TO PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. A COMMON THREAD IN THESE WIDELY DIVERSE STORIES IS THE YEARS OF PROBLEM SOLVING AND OFTEN BY-CHANCE MEETINGS THAT MAKE FOR SLOW BUT MEASURABLE PROGRESS ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.AUTM HELPS SUSTAIN THIS PROCESS BY PROVIDING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SUPPORTIVE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP, A CRITICAL ELEMENT TO SUCCESSFULLY MOVE TECHNOLOGY FROM A RESEARCH LABORATORY TO A NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. AUTM PROVIDES TOOLS AND VEHICLES TO NURTURE CULTURAL NORMS THAT CREATE ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSPHERES BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE, COUNSELING, AND RESOURCES. 61957 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 X JAMES MOORE & CO 3523781331 5931 NW 1ST PLACE GAINESVILLE FL 32607 X CHRISTOPHER YOCHIM CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN PERCHOROWICZ SECRETARY/AUTM BOARD REP 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD CHYLLA TREASURER/AUTM BOARD REP 1.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 251990 251990 251990 0 0 0 X 9000 9000 94686 32095 35081 27510 2514 2514 21444 9805 11639 22079 20057 2022 6607 6607 1182 1182 157512 61957 65531 30024 126259 0 2396 0 128655 23138 11039 0 34177 X 43296 51182 0 94478 0 128655 94478 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 251990 251990 251990 251990 251990 251990 1.00000 X PART II THE ORGANIZATION HAD LITTLE TO NO ACTIVITY FOR THE TAX YEARS 2011-2015 AND FILED A FORM 990-N (E-POSTCARD) FOR EACH OF THOSE TAX YEARS.
