## Abstract

Project Summary 
The NCQBCS seeks to share the technologies and methods developed within the Center as broadly and 
expediently as possible. The ultimate goal is to bring the Center technology into worldwide routine use. Five 
mechanisms of dissemination are presented: publications, patents, conference presentations, technology 
transfer, and web community. Journal publications provide an important mechanism of communication, and 
Center researchers will engage in a rigorous program of publishing their research, targeting venues having both 
expert and non-expert audiences. Further we provide publication and citation metrics by which we can gauge 
the success of the NCQBCS. Another key avenue to promoting developed technologies is patenting. Patent 
protection is often needed for an industrial partner to license a newly developed technology and make it 
commercially available. We are fortunate in that the University of Wisconsin has the premiere technology transfer 
office in the nation – the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). Lectures, seminars, and conference 
presentations are another excellent way to promote the activities and technologies of the NCQBCS. This 
mechanism provides the fastest route to present late breaking and the freshest research results. A key 
component of developing new mass spectrometer technology is establishing a mechanism by which to 
disseminate the technology commercially. We believe close collaboration with industry is a critical component of 
technology development – primarily for the dissemination benefits it offers. We also anticipate that access to 
the Center's technologies, some of which may not yet be commercialized, will be requested by researchers for 
use outside the Center. In these circumstances we will make the tools available at the earliest possible juncture 
through material transfer agreements. The intent is to allow distribution while protecting both the Center and 
any potential industrial partner from liability and loss of intellectual property. Finally, we aim to circulate 
information, new collaborative opportunities, and technical support through a strong web community. The 
NCQBCS web presence will approach dissemination as inclusively as possible, generating dialogue within its 
forum that explores the Center's technologies and research foci. The site will be organized into the following 
headings: NCQBCS Welcome Page, People, Core Technologies, Driving Biology, Resources, How to 
Collaborate, Policy and procedure, Training, Outreach, and Contacts.
