In 2007, the University of New Brunswick’s (UNB) Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) received funding from the Canadian government’s Atlantic Innovation Fund program to develop a commercially viable and technologically advanced prosthetic hand system. The 5-year project includes several collaborators namely, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago’s (RIC) BioMechatronics Development Labo...

Millions of life scientists across the world rely on bioinformatics data resources for their research projects. Data resources can be very expensive, especially those with a high added value as the expert-curated knowledgebases. Despite the increasing need for such highly accurate and reliable sources of scientific information, most of them do not have secured funding over the near future and o...

Recent advances in the computational speed of engineering workstations have enabled the development of a real-time version of the RELAP5 [Beelman, 1996] nuclear plant simulation code with Laboratory Discretionary Research and Development (LDRD) funding. In addition, the INEL is also funding the development of an enhanced real-time version of the existing three-dimensional nodal neutron kinetics...

BACKGROUND Financing for newborn screening is different from virtually all other public health programs. All except 5 screening programs collect fees as the primary source of program funding. A fee-based approach to financing newborn screening has been adopted by most states, to ensure consistent funding for this critical public health activity. METHODS Two types of data are reported here, ie...

This article provides an empirical study of the determinants of academic patenting. The data concern more than nine hundred scholars at Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg. Our main results show that academic incentives and career issues do not stimulate patenting. Research organization plays a major role for patent production. We find positive effects of laboratory size, of interdisciplinar...
