X. Guidance to the UCSD Community
About Appropriate University Interaction with Industry
The Committee recommends that the UCSD
administration do the following:
-
Prepare a brochure that describes
simply and clearly what are appropriate practices
and where to get additional information and advice.
The Office of Research Affairs would
coordinate the preparation of this brochure and
distribute it to all UCSD faculty and researchers
and to all administrative and other scientific
staff who may have interactions with industry.
-
Develop a web site that builds
on the brochure and links to specific sections
of other sites that deal with university interactions
with industry; e.g., the web sites of the Conflict
of Interest Office, Office of Contract and Grant
Administration, Technology Transfer Office, UC
Office of the President.
-
Assign deans the responsibility
to educate department chairs, organized research
unit directors, and their MSOs about appropriate
interactions with industry and to advise chairs
and directors about individual cases. Encourage
deans, chairs, and directors to mentor faculty
on these issues.
-
Disseminate to students and
postdoctoral scholars information about their
appropriate involvement in industrial activities.
-
Hold a half day or full day
campus retreat to follow up on the UC-wide 1997
President's Retreat on Relationships with Industry
and Technology Transfer.
-
Do special presentations in
the next year to a variety of groups at their
standard meetings, including department chairs,
ORU directors, Research Advisory Council, academic
MSOs, selected Academic Senate committees, Vice
Chancellors' unit head meetings.
-
Develop ongoing training programs
both for central administrative staff with responsibilities
for university interactions with industry and
for departmental faculty and staff.
-
In each department with significant
or potentially significant interactions with industry,
assign one faculty member to become an expert
on university-industry relations, advise other
faculty on appropriate interactions, look out
for the interests of students and postdocs, and
make appropriate referrals.
-
Encourage CONNECT to inform
faculty more fully about their services and help
in promoting entrepreneurship.
