Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: This article addresses the latter case, asking the question: Do university-based research programs without direct funding and collaboration from industry effectively transfer technology and increase economic development in emerging fields?Using the Toxic Substances Research and Teaching Program (TSRTP) at the University of California as a case study, this article will show how this program emphasizes scientific work on the problem of toxic substances but, nonetheless, has contributed to economic development and growth of the environmental technology industry.Two examples provide a context for our analysis.
