ISURF Reinvests in University Research. Over the last ten years, ISURF returned $48 million to ISU inventors, colleges, and research centers. In 2008, ISURF established a $9.5 million Research and Economic Opportunities Fund. Click here for additional information.
ISURF has been named a licensing powerhouse in a report prepared by Innovation Associates, Inc. for the National Science Foundation (NSF). The report examines universities and colleges that are exemplars in technology transfer despite rural locations, research and development expenditures that rank below the top 50 by NSF, and other obstacles. In 2005, ISU ranked second nationally in the number of licenses and options executed; the report calls this ranking a “tremendous achievement”, given that the top-ranked University of California system had $3 billion in research expenditures compared to ISU’s $210 million.
