ERW Report Feedback Survey: Academic Commercialization

Thank you for your interest in improving the concept paper from ARC Network's previous Emerging Research Workshops on Equity in Academic Commercialization: Moving Towards Systemic Change. Please note that you do not need to have read the concept paper in order to contribute to this survey.

The survey should take between 15 and 25 minutes to complete. If you have questions about this survey, please contact Virginia Rhodes, ARC Network Project Director, at arc@equityinstem.org.

Please keep in mind these key terms as you provide feedback:

Intersectionality is a framework for understanding the interconnected nature of social categorizations (such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, disability, sexuality, and more) and their relationship to overlapping and interdependent systems of power, privilege, and oppression.

Equity is defined broadly as the provision of the resources and opportunities that each person needs based on their individual circumstances, in order to reach equal outcomes for all.

Entrepreneurship can involve sensu stricto, starting a company, or sensu lato, entrepreneurial activity, which includes many components of academic commercialization, especially those that incorporate planning for business applications.

Commercialization is the process of transferring potential and actual intellectual property and related technology/intellectual assets to third parties for use in improving existing products and services or as the basis for new ones (Schelhorn & Herbers, 2022).

Question Title

Funded by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE Program, Awards HRD-2121468 and HRD-1740860, the ADVANCE Resource and Coordination (ARC) Network seeks to achieve gender equity for faculty in higher education science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. As the STEM equity brain trust, the ARC Network recognizes the achievements made so far while producing new perspectives, methods and interventions with an intersectional, intentional and inclusive lens. The leading champion in North America to propel the inclusion of women in the field of engineering, the Women in Engineering ProActive Network (WEPAN), serves as the backbone organization of the ARC Network.
