Best Paper Award

 Jerald Hage and Jonathon Mote were recently awarded the Best Paper Award in October 2007 at the Atlanta Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Policy 2007 for their paper entitled Transformational Organizations and Hyper Innovation Rates: Institut Pasteur and Biomedicine, 1889-1918. 

Research Projects Update

The Center for Innovation has been awarded a research grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the amount of $448,073.  The grant comes from a new NSF program entitled the Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) and headed by Dr. Kaye Husbands Fealing.   Our research project will examine 72 R&D research projects in three large national laboratories and three smaller national laboratories.
