Knowledge Transfer Metrics from the NHLBI SBIR Survey
摘要
This chapter introduces 25 alternative knowledge transfer metrics based on the NHLBI database of Phase II awards. These metrics are categorized as knowledge outflow metrics, knowledge inflow metrics, and two-way knowledge flow metrics. Descriptive statistics are provided for each metric. Four metrics are emphasized and are graphically illustrated in terms of firm employment and Phase II award amounts: licensing agreements, patents received, scientific papers published, and commercialization rates.
