Annual Report 2003
Industry-University Cooperative Research Program
“We must move discoveries from
the bench to the public domain
more effectively. And we must hand
them off more quickly to end-users,
whether they are first responders
in a crisis, farmers, health care
professionals, social workers, or
teachers.”
-Robert C. Dynes
University of California President

Since 1996, the University of California has been building a capacity for maximizing
the economic impact of its research and education programs through the Industry-
University Cooperative Research Program (IUCRP) and its UC Discovery Grants.
It is a rich and rare find in an academic environment – an initiative fostering public-
private relationships that are both strategically targeted and flexible enough to
promote jointly funded research across the broad industry-university interface. IUCRP
partnerships with California businesses advance meritorious research programs that
would be considered too high risk or of too broad scope for discipline-limited federal
funding priorities. They fuel entrepreneurism while simultaneously promoting academic
excellence.
This year’s report focuses on this unique California capacity and what it is contributing
to the California economy at a time when the state needs it most. California has lost
more than 100,000 high-paying technology jobs since 2001 and industry has undergone
dramatic restructuring in a struggle to return to profitability. Both public and privately
held biotech firms have suffered more than two years of declining valuations and under-
investment. Society is confronting new threats and homeland security has become both
a top priority and a budgetary burden. In times like these, the mission and goals of the
IUCRP become essential.
Through a mechanism as simple as matching grants, the IUCRP has been bridging the
gap between UC and California companies. The impact is clear – R&D enhancement
in California’s core technology industries, advancing the scientific knowledge base,
capital formation, boosting survival rates in a tough economic climate, creating new
jobs and educating the R&D workforce. The IUCRP has the data to back this up and a
new organization to expand the impact going forward.
The short range goal is to promote, immediately, more strategically focused and robust
partnership building. A team of professionals with both basic research and business
development experience provide reconnaissance, training a spotlight on opportunities
that California can uniquely address by joint industry-UC effort. The medium range
goal is to define statewide networks of expertise that enable planning at a different
scale and level of complexity. A California Homeland Security Atlas supports a case
study on how such networks may address challenging technological problems requiring
rapid application paths and the best science.
With this report, we are moving into a new phase of development – and impact for
California.

The IUCRP Approach
The Industry-University Cooperative Research Program’s (IUCRP) approach is driven by a set
of basic principles and goals. Primary among them is intensifying the role of the University in
service to the people of the State of California and its economy. Innovation is a proven driver.
The IUCRP is expanding the substrate on which innovation occurs, emphasizing the essential
source -- cumulative problem solving and research advances through broad interactions.
The IUCRP is helping California maximize its innovation edge by:
•
expanding industry access to the UC
community’s ability to solve discrete practical
problems;
•
leveraging Industry, State, and Federal
investments in R&D;
•
building a balanced science and technology
portfolio across a broad array of R&D-intensive
industries (i.e., biotechnology, communications
and networking, digital media, electronics
manufacturing, information technology for life
sciences, and microelectronics);
•
exposing problems of interest to many
companies;
•
enabling research contributions from
more than one field to drive multiple
industry sectors;
•
promoting high risk/high impact research
with rigorous quality controls;
•
emphasizing the full spectrum of
contribution vectors, including research,
expert consultation, creating R&D
leaders, workforce development, and
other aspects of technology transfer
•
focusing on major California problems,
including health, clean air and water,
energy, manufacturing, and public safety.

Benefits to Industry Partners
The participating firms reflect a broad cross
section of California’s R&D-intensive economy
and include entrepreneurial efforts that are
pioneering entirely new markets and industrial
sectors. They include both industry leaders,
such as Intel and Chiron, and promising start
up firms like ThinKOM Solutions, Pacific Fuel
Cell Corp., and ImmvaRx (see Appendix A for
full list of participating companies and table
this page, for a list of start up companies that
have sponsored UC Discovery Grants.
By a number of measures, the companies
that are partnering with UC researchers
through the IUCRP represent real economic
development power, both as well established
contributors to the California economy
and as the sources of important emerging
contributions. Many are cited as leaders
in industry analyses published by regional
and national business media, including
Business Week’s IT 100, Forbes 200 Best Small
Businesses, and the regional lists of the San
Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News,
and Los Angeles Times (see table, this page).
Who are the IUCRP’s Industry Partners?
The IUCRP’s UC Discovery Grants have
engaged 353 companies in more than 595
research partnerships, to date. It is in large
part through the R&D programs of these
companies that benefits to California flow.
Those benefits are described in the Impact
section of this report.
In addition to its UC Discovery Grants, the
IUCRP also includes the MICRO program and
the grants and fellowships it has awarded
since fiscal year 1998-1999. The MICRO
program was launched in 1981 and is
managed in the Office of Research (not in
the IUCRP headquarters) with a different
management and governance approach.
This report includes MICRO budgetary
and investment information (e.g. in the
Investment chart, below and in the Financial
Report section), as well as a list of sponsor
companies, but MICRO impact information

Each year, about half of the companies
co-sponsoring new grants are participating
in the program for the first time.
According to preliminary results from a
recent survey conducted by the IUCRP:
• 40% of the responding partner
companies (29) had not sponsored
research at UC before engaging in an
IUCRP matching grant;
• 86% (63) report that the IUCRP
matching grants increased their access
to UC faculty and students;
• 92% (67) say they would invest, again.
As described in the Impact section, below,
participation enables firms to undertake
something they could not do in-house by
leveraging their limited R&D funds, enabling
them to explore problems too high risk for
internal investment, and giving them access
to expertise and infrastructure they didn’t
have.
Their combined investments in 1,189 IUCRP
research projects currently amount to more
than $147.5 million dollars (including MICRO
grants), primarily in cash – a strong testament
to the value of partnering with UC. Their
Why do Industry Partners Invest?
contributions strongly leverage $112 million
in State contributions to the IUCRP and are
further leveraged by federal investments
in UC researchers and laboratories. A key
reason they all invest? Innovation fuels
competitiveness and competitiveness fuels
company growth.

Bringing UC’s Research Strengths into Action
The UC Discovery Grant partner companies
have engaged more than 550 UC faculty and
1,300 students (to date) in research projects
that are directly relevant to industry R&D
problems and the California economy. The
IUCRP expert peer review process ensures
that the research plans and research teams
are of the highest quality and the budgets
are reasonable. This approach ensures that
only the best research projects are advanced
for joint funding, substantially increasing the
probability of success.
The IUCRP is having measureable impact
on the UC research community. It is
helping faculty and students build effective
relationships with California companies and it
is steadily expanding the number and breadth
of UC participants.
As more and more researchers and companies
participate, networks of expertise form and
create a powerful new tool for economic
development. The IUCRP has built new
reconnaissance and surveillance mechanisms
that are actively defining emerging networks,
promoting communication and interaction,
and creating a platform for strategic R&D
planning.
The greatest value stems from engaging the
university’s capacity for mounting broadly
multidisciplinary research efforts. Unlike
federal funding agencies, the IUCRP funding
has no walls between its major target fields
in science and engineering. The IUCRP
promotes cross-cutting research efforts,
partnering with major research centers at
the campuses and National Laboratories,
including the four California Institutes for
Science and Innovation. This enables IUCRP
participants to address difficult technology
challenges, such as nanotechnology and
embedded systems.
(n=162 in preliminary sample)
• more than 36% (59) of respondents had not participated in industry sponsored
research before they received an IUCRP matching grant;
• 70% (112) report that their participation lead to a longer term relationship with
sponsor companies;
• 84% (132) say their experience encouraged them to build research relationships
with other companies;
• 84% (132) say that their experience with a IUCRP matching grant lead them to
focus more effort in the field of research than previously;
• 98% (157) said they would participate in IUCRP matching grants, again.

Impact on Sponsor Companies
R&D Enhancement
IUCRP sponsor firms participate for a wide
variety of reasons, but nearly all do it so
that they can undertake something that
they could not undertake in-house. The
preliminary survey results presented in the
box illustrate the critical barriers to R&D
that the IUCRP helps California companies
overcome – including inadequacies in
expertise and research infrastructure that
require substantially greater investment to
correct in-house.
What they get out of the sponsored projects
also varies, except for one major outcome of
critical importance to the California economy:
accelerated R&D. Companies of all ages and
size report enhanced recruitment of key R&D
personnel. Many also report that the research
project played a role in refocusing their R&D
programs.
Young companies report an enhanced ability
to raise capital investments and other sources
of funding. The firms surveyed did not
disclose the amounts raised.
In a separate project aimed at understanding
the business development successes of
sponsor firms, the IUCRP Economic Research
team found that of the 353 UC Discovery
Grant Sponsor Firms, 156 were at a lifecycle
stage appropriate for raising venture
capital. Of these, 68 are included in the
PriceWaterhouseCooper Moneytree database,
which shows that:
• 41 (60%) raised $1.4 billion in 103
deals in the period following their
first participation in IUCRP matching
grants
• On average, the 41 raised $34 million
per company
• 8 of the 41 raised $215.6 million, the
entirety of their venture investment
(to date), after their first participation
in IUCRP matching grants
• On average, the 8 raised $27 million
per company
Another project tracks the 51 (to date) IUCRP
sponsor firms that had 10 or fewer employees
at the time of their first matching grant. 80%
(41) are still in operation, including two young
firms that were acquired by other companies

Intellectual Property Activity
When firms sponsor IUCRP research projects,
they enter into a formal research agreement
with the UC investigator’s campus which
offers an opportunity to include provisions
for accessing intellectual property rights
on inventions stemming from the project.
Intellectual property rights provide an
important form of market access protection
for companies. The Economic Research Team
has an effort underway to track any resulting
intellectual property activity, although the
university’s reporting systems do not facilitate
the kinds of analyses needed.
Of the 595 UC Discovery Grants jointly
supported, to date, they have so far
identified 103 formal invention disclosures by
UC investigators and their students (including
60 disclosures in the life sciences and 43 in
engineering). 22 licenses have been granted
(20 in life sciences and 2 in engineering).
Information on possible revenue streams
generated by these licenses was not available
at the time of this report. Both the disclosure
and license numbers are considered low
estimates and more thorough analyses are
being attempted.
Survival Rates of Very Small Sponsor Companies by Industry Sector
(10 or fewer employees at time of grant; % in business)
and continue operation in California.
Life science firms account for 31 firms, of
which 84% (26 firms) are still in operation and
16% (5 firms) have exited. The IUCRP sponsor
firms appear to be doing notably better than
their cohorts, statewide, where the exit rate
is 29%.
Two small young firms that are counted among
the surviving firms, were acquired: Clinical
Micro Sensors, Inc (acquired by Motorola)
and Myelos Corporation (acquired by Bio-
Technology General Corp.).

IUCRP UC Discovery Grant success story
Fighting Malaria:
Creating cheap, simple microbial drug factories
Worldwide, nearly two million people die of
malaria every year. Unfortunately, the most widely
available, affordable anti-malarial drugs are based
on chloroquine, and the Plasmodium parasite that
causes malaria has developed resistance to it.
Drugs based on an ancient Chinese extract of the
plant Sweet Wormwood, or Artemisia annua, are
more effective, but they are too expensive for
most people in developing nations.
What
if
large
q u a n t i t i e s
of
advanced
medications could be
made cheaply? What
if it could be done in
an environmentally
friendly way, without
harvesting protected
organisms?
Dr. Jay Keasling, Pro-
fessor of Chemical
Engineering at UC
Berkeley, and Maxy-
gen, a California-based biotechnology company,
have come up with a way to do just that. Through
a research partnership funded by a UC Discovery
Grant, Keasling and Maxygen modified the bacteri-
um Escherichia coli to produce complex chemicals
with medicinal qualities. The bacterium can now
produce amorphadiene, a precursor to the anti-
malaria drug artemisinin — the active ingredient in
Sweet Wormwood extracts— and the most difficult
step in synthesizing the drug.
To produce amorphadiene in E. coli, Keasling and
his research team inserted a combination of genes
from E. coli, yeast, and Sweet Wormwood into
the host bacterium to construct an entirely new
metabolic pathway. The modified bacterium now
converts inexpensive sugars into large quantities of
amorphadiene. By cloning one or two more genes
from Sweet Wormwood, it will be possible to produce
large quantities of artemisinin inexpensively.
What’s in it for the California economy? Well,
IUCRP UC Discovery Grant success story
this same drug production method can be used
to manufacture many other compounds from
the isoprenoid family, including terpene-based
fragrances and flavors. Steve del Cardayre is
Product Manager-Fermentation at Codexis the
spinoff of Maxygen that is pursuing the research
with Keasling. He says that the UC Discovery
Grant gave the company a valuable opportunity to
undertake exploratory and fairly high risk research
and validate their approach to producing these
value-added products. According to del Cardayre,
the product lines “looked good on paper” but
the science was at such an early stage it was not
possible for the firm to make an informed decision
about investing in an all-out R&D program.
Keasling’s work showed that the science works
but alerted Codexis to the substantial additional
investment required to actually develop and
commercialize fragrance and flavor products.
They decided not to pursue in-house development
of the products and redirected their efforts to
marketing the tools developed in their research
partnership with Keasling as part of their
technology portfolio.
Del Cardayre emphasizes that the UC Discovery
Grant gave them a valuable opportunity to
undertake the exploratory research that both
validated the approach and showed the expense
to be prohibitive. It saved them from making
substantial investment in something that
ultimately would prove to expensive to pursue.
In addition to substantial cost savings that freed
up internal R&D resources for other strategic
targetes, the project added a new technology to
their technology offerings.

How does a promising young, cash-
strapped start-up company break into the
highly competitive world of commercial
pharmaceuticals? The Nereus Pharmaceuticals
strategy has focused, in part, on maximal
leveraging of its limited R&D funding through
UC Discovery Grants that enable research
partnerships with UC faculty and students.
Nereus, a drug discovery and development
company,
is
searching the world
for new “privileged
s t r u c t u r e s ”
–
compounds
developed in nature
over millions of years
of evolution that are
likely to serve an
important biological
function.
Seeking
both the required
technical expertise and laboratory facilities,
Nereus turned to UC San Diego medicinal
Chemist, Professor Emmanuel Theodorakis, to
help them study acanthoic acid, a promising
drug candidate for treatment of inflammatory
diseases. The critical problem was producing
quantities of the molecule sufficient for the
needed research and testing. Acanthoic acid
is produced only in a slow-growing shrub on a
remote Korean island.
In little more than a year, Theodorakis
and his students developed a process for
synthesizing acanthoic acid and nearly one
hundred different analogs of the molecule
– each representing a potential drug
candidate. “Theodorakis’ expertise saved
us a lot of time with the synthesis,” says Dr.
Michael Pallandino, Nereus Vice President
Gaining the competitive edge through
public-private partnerships
of Technology. “I think the benefits of the
partnership have been pretty significant. It
has allowed us to do chemistry with one
of the top groups in the world.” More
importantly, it allowed the young company
to pursue cutting edge research before it had
laboratory facilities.
“It’s really an interesting situation,” says UC
San Diego’s Thoedorakis. “They rely on us to
make molecules and we rely on them to move
them to practical application in medicine. In
my case, Palladino brought the compound to
my attention. I wouldn’t have started this
particular project on my own.” Theodorakis’
team focused on the chemistry while Nereus
ran biological assays to determine medicinal
value – often in the same day. “We can
respond very quickly to changes in the
science,” said Palladino. “It has really moved
the project along.” Thanks to this research,
Nereus has advanced several drug candidates
into pre-clinical trials.
As for the firm’s business development plan,
Nereus’ Dr. Ken Lloyd says that “the UC
Discovery Grant was essential. It gave us
hard data to support our scientific platform
and raise funding from venture capitalists.”

A billion times a day, a packet of data
zooms down an optical fiber in a computer
network – a stock purchase, traffic report,
scientific analyses, or e-mail to grandma.
When the packet reaches a routing point, a
decision must be made about where to send
it next. Therein lies an increasingly serious
networking problem: current systems lack
the intelligence to make the decision, and
require a time-consuming conversion of the
signal from optical to electronic. With our
rapidly expanding
d e p e n d e n c e
on
information
networks in all
aspects of our
lives, it is clear
that
today’s
networks
cannot
handle the flood of
information.
Cisco Systems, a
California-based
company, is the
leading supplier of networking equipment
for internet service providers and enterprise
networks. Routers are the premier product.
Cisco’s Javad Boroumand says that the
company does not conduct basic research
itself, yet research and insight into the next
technology breakthroughs are essential for
it to stay on top. To address the looming
problem, Cisco leaders decided to partner
with UC Santa Barbara’s Dan Blumenthal and
his team of researchers and students. In a
short period of time, the research partnership,
enabled in part by the UC Discovery Grant,
produced an all-optical routing technology
that eliminates the delays caused by optical-
to-electronic conversion.
Blumenthal acknowledges that this project
produced about “10% of what is needed to
The Critical Ten Percent
bring the technology to practical, wide-spread
application. The 10% of work done includes
the critical elements that allow industry in
the California economy to then invest in the
next 90% so that it has economic benefits. The
UC Discovery Grant and the partnership with
industry and the University system allows this
critical 10% to keep going.”
Cisco’s Boroumand says, “That’s what
universities do best, it’s a place of research.
When you compare that versus contracting for
that kind of work, the cost is not comparable.
And it provides a very stable environment that
is intellectually very rich.” For Blumenthal,
the benefits extend much further. All sixteen
student and faculty members of his laboratory
have gained from the research partnership.
“We need a new generation of people to take
this area forward. There’s no point of going
into new technologies if the people are not
there who understand them and know how
to apply them. If I do my job right, they’ll
know more about what they can do when they
graduate.”
Cisco’s Boroumand agrees, “Working with a
bunch of grad students and having them be
pretty visible to us, we can make our focus
on hiring much smarter than if we go by what
they have done just purely academically or
in their other employment. We have hired a
number of students.”
Professor Blumenthal and Cisco Systems
are currently engaged in their second UC
Discovery Grant project, scheduled for
completion in 2005.

Impact on California
Strengthening and Expanding California’s
R&D Capacity:
From the previous sections, it is clear that
the IUCRP attracts a wide spectrum of strong
and promising companies into partnerships
with UC researchers. It is not reasonable
to attribute the success of these companies
solely to their participation in discrete
research projects with the University. It is,
however, clear that these companies seek to
partner with the University to help advance
their critical, strategic R&D goals.
Summarizing what was described above in
terms of state impact, California’s investment
in the IUCRP’s UC Discovery Grants has:
• Enabled 353 firms to strengthen their
competitive R&D programs through
partnership with UC researchers
• Influenced the ability of promising
young R&D firms to raise capital
investments in a very difficult
economic time
• Enabled competitive young firms
to leverage substantially their very
limited R&D funds through partnership
with UC researchers and increase their
chances for survival in a harsh business
climate
• Drawn more than 550 UC researchers
into joint action with California
companies on R&D problems relevant
to the California economy
Addressing California’s Areas of
Special Need:
Agriculture, water and food quality: Hard
pressed by public concerns about food and
water quality, California farmers are engaging
in IUCRP research partnerships through
agricultural R&D firms and the California
Market Order Boards to address an array
of plant pest problems, seeking early pest
detection strategies and identifying novel
products and genes that provide protection
and reduce chemical pesticide use. They
have also jointly supported research on
drought tolerance, aimed at developing
crops that require less water. Other projects
focus on improving the quality of foods
derived from California crop plants.
Health care: Given the size and complexity
of its population, California suffers more
than other states from the impact of
healthcare costs and workforce losses due to
illness. The majority of life science research
projects are jointly sponsored by California
biotechnology firms and many are focused on
identifying new candidates for therapeutic
drugs and diagnostics, or on developing
powerful new technologies to advance drug
discovery.
Growing New Businesses, Growing
New R&D Leaders:
The career paths of students emerging from
IUCRP’s UC Discovery Grants are of particular
interest.
Their experience in industry-
relevant research programs make them
attractive recruits for companies. Moreover,
as the recent survey demonstrates, many
of the students are taking leadership roles,
building new firms. These are California’s
new and future R&D leaders.

According to the preliminary responses to
the survey, at least a dozen new companies
have been launched by students whose
research education was supported, in part,
by IUCRP matching grants -- which provided
the students direct exposure to the problems
confronting industry and the opportunities for
entrepreneurial business development. A list
of those companies and student founders is
provided in the box.
Timbre Technologies was founded by three
UC Berkeley students who were supported
in an IUCRP matching grant for electronics
manufacturing research (see Success Story,
below). TransOptix Inc. (formerly Advanced
Optical MEMS) was founded by Dr. Charles
Chu, who had participated as a student in
an IUCRP-sponsored research project lead by
Professor G. P. Li at the UC Irvine Integrated
Nanosystems Facility (INRF). It is worth noting
that Professor Li attributes the development
of the INRF, itself, to a seed grant jointly
funded by a consortium of companies and an
IUCRP matching grant. The INRF currently
engages 52 companies in research, 80% of
which are small firms. Simultaneously, INRF
faculty are educating dozens of students.
The Economic Research team tracks the
entrepreneurial
business
development
The California economy has experienced
a tremendous downswing, taking with it
hundreds of thousands of jobs. The box
shows employment changes at sponsor firms
(where data is available). Larger companies
show heavy net losses due to massive layoffs
(i.e., Silicon Graphics Inc., H-P, Intel,
ChevronTexaco Corporation, Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Sony Technology Center-
San Diego, Nortel Networks Corporation,
QUALCOMM Inc., Advanced Micro Devices,
Motorola, Syngenta Crop Protection, Ericcson
CDMA Systems Division, Atmel Corp., KLA-
Tencor Corporation).
Smaller firms show growth, with more than
5,000 net new California jobs created by firms
that had fewer than 500 employees at the
time of their first IUCRP matching grant.

IUCRP UC Discovery Grant success story
Fertile Ground for California Entrepreneurs
Integrated nanosystems research is
driving electronics manufacturing towards
extraordinarily small machines, sensors, and
motors. Under Professor G.P. Li’s leadership,
a group of UC Irvine faculty set a bold course
for the Integrated Nanosystems Research
Facility (INRF), aiming to “engineer the
microworld” through application of molecular-
scale mechanisms of biology, chemistry, and
photonics, a willingness to pursue non-traditional
manufacturing techniques, and a commitment
to design based on holistic understanding of
technology as part of a system.
“Prior to receiving a UC Discovery Grant, the
INRF facility was a small collection of faculty
working with a handful of companies, according
to Li. Within three years, the facility has grown
tremendously in both research programs and
industry collaborations. Research funding from
companies quadrupled.”
A number of major outcomes stemming from UC
Discovery Grant support:
• Rapidly expanding industry participation:
“We have already engaged 52 companies,
80% of which are small firms that report
the interaction has been extremely
beneficial for their growth, says Professor
Li. They gain essential proof of concept
for their product candidates and many
have started their own clean room
fabrication facilities following on their
experience with the INRF.”
• Business creation: Charles Chu, an INRF
student supported by a UC Discovery
Grant, created a company, Advanced
Optical MEMS (now known as TransOptix).
• Major Federal investments: A
UC Discovery Grant helped INRF
investigators develop research ideas
that lead to a $1.2 million DARPA grant,
awarded in October 2003. Headed
by INRF’s Professor Franco De Flaviis,
the project will fabricate lighter, less
expensive “phased array” antennas for
incorporation into commercial products.
The team includes Professor Li and
another UC Discovery Grant Investigator,
IUCRP UC Discovery Grant success story
Professor Mark Bachman. According to
the campus press release, De Flaviis is
the first to fabricate simultaneously an
array of antennas and a phase shifter,
the component that adjusts and directs
the antennas. De Flaviis and Bachman
were entry-level Assistant Professor and
Assistant Adjunct Professor, respectively,
at the time they received their first
funding from the UC Discovery Grants.

Making increasingly smaller electronic
features on semiconductors both more
reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively is the
primary goal of the worldwide semiconductor
manufacturing industry. Two UC Berkeley
graduate students found a way to do it – and
started Timbre Technologies, a company
they sold two years later to an international
manufacturing firm for $138 million.
J a k a t d a r
Nickhil and
Xinhui Niu,
t o g e t h e r
with fellow
engineering
s t u d e n t ,
J u n w e i
Bao, were
w o r k i n g
in
the
laboratory
of UC Berkeley Engineering Professor Costas
Spanos on a research project focused on
developing ways to measure features and
spot errors on semiconductors. The project
was funded by a UC Discovery Grant.
According to Spanos, “the original way of
measuring consisted of using an electron
microscope. Timbre Technologies’ alternative
involved optical mathematical analyses. The
technological development is now being
introduced, worldwide.”
Tokyo Electron
Limited, which has a significant manufacturing
presence in California and has nearly 80% of the
worldwide market for lithography equipment,
had been looking for a more efficient way of
making semiconductors and for software to
integrate their system. Timbre Technologies
had a solution. “Timbre was the latest and
the best technology available,” says Mindy
Student Entrepreneurs:
Berkeley student researchers enhance semiconductor manufacturing
Russell, marketing communications manager
at Tokyo Electron Limited. The technology is
now considered essential for process controls
and yield management in manufacturing
semiconductor chip patterns at the sub-100
nanometer level.
How did they get from an academic research
project to commercial success? First, they
performed outstanding research, which
culminated in a scientific publication that
was awarded the IEEE 2001 Best Paper Award.
Second, they entered the UC Berkeley Haas
School of Business’ Annual Business Plan
Competition, in 1999 and won the $8,000 first
prize. “There was enough press to catch the
eye of potential customers,” says Jakatdar.
“Without the competition, it’s hard to say
where we would be, but we would not have
gotten where we are so quickly without it.”
Through its California arm, Tokyo Electron,
Ltd has joined a consortium of companies that
support a renewal UC Discovery Grant that is
enabling Professor Spanos and his colleagues
working at several different UC campuses
to extend their research and provide
opportunities for additional students.

Producing California’s R&D Workforce
The IUCRP’s UC Discovery Grants have
supported more than 2,100 research
assistantships
for
graduate
students
(55%), postdoctoral students (35%), and
undergraduates (10%). These students are
actively engaged in sophisticated research
projects focused on problems of direct
relevance to industry and the California
economy. They experience, first hand, the
practical aspects that companies confront.
The average participating student spends
eighteen months engaged in a sponsored
research project and the average grant
supports three and a half students.
In the course of the research projects, students
are included in meetings with company
representatives, presenting research results
and engaging in discussions. The students
sometimes have the opportunity to perform
research internships at the sponsor company.
Some of the students work with the advisors
in preparing successful proposals for industry
or federal funding to extend the work begun
with the IUCRP matching grant. A large
percentage of students co-author scientific
publications.
About a third of companies responding to the
survey have hired students from their IUCRP
matching grant projects. More than half of
responding UC investigators report that their
supported students have been hired by other
firms. Some of the students pursue academic
careers where their research experience
influences their teaching and research
programs. Many of the younger students
advance to the next stage in their education
(i.e., from graduate student to postdoc and
from undergraduate to graduate student).
The capacity for the IUCRP to continue to
produce a steady stream of highly skilled
candidates for the state’s R&D workforce is
being seriously compromised by increases
in student fees, that have already grown to
30% for graduate students and are expected
to grow more over the coming year. These
increases are significantly eroding the value
of the IUCRP matching grant dollar.
The Value of the IUCRP
The IUCRP helps make things happen for California R&D companies. Key to the
program’s value are its:
• management principles based on commitment to quality and relevance;
• reconnaissance, analysis, and communication capabilities;
• new capacity to define and mobilize networks of expertise;
• investment in economic research and impact analyses.

Financial Report
IUCRP management of the UC Discovery
Grants is is guided by a set of fundamental
principles aimed at:
• optimizing operational performance
• minimizing risk
• ensuring a high degree of
accountability
• facilitating participation
• emphasizing transparency and
reasonableness in reporting
requirements
• reducing unnecessary bureaucracy
• promoting ongoing consultation with
UC and Industry research leaders
UC Discovery Grants Management
UC Discovery Grants Governance and
Quality Control
Each UC Discovery Grant research proposal
is rigorously peer reviewed by expert UC
scientists and engineers.
Grant funding
decisions for UC Discovery Grants are made
by five field-specific Executive Committees
comprised of expert scientists and engineers
drawn from each of the campuses and National
Laboratories of the UC system. Decisions
for MICRO Grants are made by the MICRO
Executive Committee. (Lists are provided at
the end of this report.)
Budget -
Impact of the State Fiscal Crisis
This section focuses solely on the IUCRP
budget for the UC Discovery Grants. During
the period 1996-2000, IUCRP leadership
successfully pursued increasing levels of
permanent State funding, bringing it to $17
million/year. The University contribution
was maintained at a steady $3 million/year.
Industry contributions have risen fairly
steadily and consistently exceeded the
required $1:$1 match, even during the recent
economic downturn.
The State’s continuing fiscal crisis has
resulted in a series of budget cuts to the
State’s contribution. A 10% cut was allocated
in fiscal year 2002-2003 and a second 10% cut
is being applied in the current fiscal year,
2003-2004. These cuts are applied across-
the-board to the research function of the UC
Regents Budget. Together, they have reduced
the State’s annual contribution to $14.5
million for the fiscal year 2003-2004.
At the same time, graduate student fees have
increased 30% (see figure, this page), which
affect the IUCRP resource base as a de facto
budget cut of approximately $1.4 million
in fiscal year 2003-2004 for ongoing grants
and another $700,000 for new grants to be
awarded, this year.
UC Graduate Fees
This section focuses primarily on IUCRP
operations for the UC Discovery Grants, and
not the MICRO Program. Where the report
includes MICRO information, it is clearly
stated.
Oversight and advice for the IUCRP is
provided by the President’s Board on Science
and Innovation, and the IUCRP Steering
Committee. Membership lists are provided at
the end of the report.

Page 19
Portfolio
Since 1996, the jointly funded investment
portfolio, including both UC Discovery Grants
and MICRO grants and fellowships, has grown
to 1,189 grants amounting to $281 million
in State ($112.6 million), Industry ($147.5
million), and UC ($21 million) investments.
This amount includes funds received from all
sources except for the grants launched in the
most recent fiscal year (company sponsors
usually structure quarterly payments, in
advance).
High tech and life science investments split
roughly 52:48 for the IUCRP’s UC Discovery
Grants (58:42 when MICRO investments are
included). Research partnerships continue to
expand at the nine established UC campuses
and two of the three Department of Energy
Laboratories.
100% of Industry investments in UC Discovery
Grants are expended on research, with
81% dedicated to direct costs, and 19% to
indirect costs. Of State and UC funds, 86%
are invested in research grants and awards,
4.33% is expended on research surveillance,
development, and network building, and 8.4%
is expended on administration and governance
(when Industry grants are considered, the
actual cost of administering the UC Discovery
Grants drops to less than 4%).
The typical research grant (including pooled
State, UC, and Industry funds) invests 44% of
funds in research supplies, equipment and
travel, and 56% in personnel. Approximately
35% of personnel expenditures are directed
to research assistantships for students
(graduate student, postdoctoral student, and
undergraduate).

value and impact of the program to the State,
California industry, and the University.
