ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH COMMERCIAL AGREEMENTS
MICHAEL RONDELLI This past year, FY 2021, continued the successes from FY 2020 with high levels of customer service, fast and professional contracting for our faculty researchers and explosive growth in the number of licenses. The Research Commercial Agreements (RCA) unit’s radical change in FY 2020 to mix servicing all research contracts with our technology transfer services continued its success, allowing for growth across all service metrics for the two areas. Our success, again, was the product of our team approach to our work. With only 4.5 full-time employees, we created 772 contracts including a record-setting 35 technology transfer licenses, all while serving our campus and industrial collaborators during the highly chaotic pandemic. Technology Transfer: Technology transfer is the process of commercializing intellectual property developed by UNT faculty and staff. Although common across large universities for decades, UNT only formed its unit in December 2015. The field of technology transfer has many data points to allow different universities to compare and contrast their efforts, allowing each to set reasonable performance goals. According to the Association of University Technology Managers — the industry association for technology transfer — universities average 3.26 disclosures of new intellectual property and 1.21 licenses for every $10 million in federal expenditures per year. Even with UNT’s exceptional growth of 20% in federal funding expenditures, the $20.3 million expended demonstrates that our technology transfer was far more successful than the expected average. In FY 2021, UNT earned 45 disclosures and 35 licenses, far exceeding industry expectations by over 579% and 1,324%, respectively. This performance

far exceeds comparable universities and demonstrates how valuable UNT’s applied research is to the global community. UNT manages technology transfer as a portfolio, similar to an investment portfolio. Just like investments, not all will pay out, and not all will have huge successes. Research Commercial Agreements manages the portfolio in order to include both large, highly risky projects that could produce multi-million dollar returns and less risky, more stable licenses that continue to add value over time while also continuing to meet the university’s mission of gaining use of UNT’s applied research. As such, the RCA is engaged with all faculty, not driven just by the short-term financial success, but also the long-term societal impact on communities. Research Contracting: After taking over Research Contracting in FY 2020, this past year was the first full year with this function. Of the 772 contracts created, the team executed 662 contracts, allowing faculty, graduate students and the sponsors to all gain the value from those completed UNT research projects. These contracts brought in $19.6 million, having a huge impact on the research effectiveness of UNT. As Research Contracting continues to operate, more and more faculty customers have mentioned how much they appreciate our transparency so they know where their contracts are in the process. Also, the team has continued to turn contracts around faster than many would expect from a university. This unit generally responds within one business day after receiving a new contract. This includes edits or asking the faculty or sponsor to schedule time to discuss possible contractual solutions. This success comes from the team who has established an internal process that triages all contracts as soon as they come in, weighing the urgency and difficulty and providing maximal productivity across the unit. This true triage approach means that simple, easy requests like a material transfer or non-disclosure agreement are turned around quickly and the faculty don’t have any time wasted waiting for contract review. At the same time, the more complex and difficult language has been added to a large database so the unit has easy and fast access to find solution language that has proven successful with past contracts.

DIRECTOR OF LICENSING
STEVEN TUDOR Steven Tudor manages the lifecycle of UNT owned intellectual property. This includes IP disclosures, patent filings, contracts and licensing. Tudor also helps faculty and students understand the nuances of intellectual property and academic research. Tudor joined RCA in May 2017 after spending three years working in UT Southwestern’s Office of Technology Development.
SENIOR CONTRACTS ANALYST
RJ JALILIAN RJ Jalilian is responsible for triage, analysis, management and reporting of all research and commercialization contracts that are processed by RCA. In addition, Jalilian maintains software databases used by RCA to manage contracting. He also negotiates standard research contracts and research commercialization agreements, supports the other Senior Contracting Analyst and Associate Vice President with contracts and agreements managed within the RCA unit.

SENIOR CONTRACTS ANALYST
JANIS MILLER Janis Miller moved from Grants and Contracts and joined the RCA team when it was formed in FY 2020. In her role, Miller manages all research contract triage, monitors workflow turnaround time and time sensitive contracts, subcontracts and other agreements. She drafts and negotiates research related contracts, while interacting directly with external sponsors, including industry contacts, federal sponsors, state sponsors and private non-profits. Miller works closely with the pre- and post-award teams on process improvement and assists with policy and procedure development.
SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST
AMANDA ANAYA Amanda Anaya is responsible for calendar maintenance for the RCA team. In addition, Anaya assists with updating the Inteum Database when needed and compiling weekly reporting. She monitors the Research Contracts email inbox and sends new contracts to the appropriate Contract Analyst.

CHAPTER 2
Strategic Planning and Implementation 8
EXPAND RESEARCHERS’ WORK WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR Strategy 1: Encourage Faculty to Disclose New Inventions •
Increased Contact with Faculty Researchers — Staff gave presentations on intellectual property at departmental meetings and reached out to individual principal investigators. Principal investigators served by the division were encouraged to spread the word about their experiences to their peers.
•
Relationships with University Advancement — The department accelerated relationships with University Advancement for industry outreach and continued to encourage partnerships for leveraging IP for donors, foundation funding and corporate licensing.
•
Increased Reporting — Monthly reporting to served PIs and deans keeps them up-to-date on the activities of Research Commercial Agreements and encourages more disclosures and reduces problems with faculty not being aware of contract status.
•
Brought Awareness to Administrators — Staff members briefed deans and associate deans of research on what technology transfer means and the best ways to gain value from the technology transfer function.
Strategy 2: Market Intellectual Property for Licensing and Corporate-Sponsored Research •
Launched IN-PART — The department joined IN-PART, a matchmaking platform for university-industry collaboration that provides the initial introduction for new licenses in technology transfer. The tool allows the department to connect with potential licensees globally.
•
Increased Licenses — The department realized licenses for IP the department had been marketing since starting in 2015, increasing the number of licenses from 12 in FY 2020 to 35 in FY 2021. Of the 35 licenses, 25 were copyrights and 10 patent-based, demonstrating that softwarebased and educational technologies provide a great value and are of high interest to solve commercial needs.
9
• Targeting Industry Contacts — Staff developed collaborations with companies and UNT inventors; intern marketing reports were used to target potential licensees; licensing consultants were used to target specific contacts at large potential licensees; staff connected with potential licensees through LinkedIn; and used data mining related patents for relevance to the UNT portfolio targeting potential licensing opportunities. • Spinout Companies — Staff discussed with inventors and their graduate students options for spinout companies based on their technology. • Industry Visibility and Networking — Staff spoke at or attended industry events to increase visibility and push specific technologies. • Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship — Research Commercial Agreements worked with UNT’s Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship to target potential licensees. Strategy 3: Support/Operate an Effective and Efficient Research Contracting Process • Research Commercial Agreements — Continued to operate research contracting with the same time-sensitivity and understanding of commercial needs since establishing Research Commercial Agreements in FY 2020. • Guaranteed Turnaround for Contract Response — Research Commercial Agreements implemented a four-tier guaranteed turnaround time for contract response. • Increased Communications — Monthly reporting continued to keep PIs and deans up-to-date on activities of Research Commercial Agreements and encouraged additional disclosures. Transparency and clear processes were maintained from FY 2020 by collaboration with college administrators and bi-weekly meetings with University Advancement.

HELPING FEMALE ATHLETES WITH BODY IMAGE In a realm where physicality and the body are so integral to one’s performance, it isn’t surprising that female athletes experience unique vulnerabilities to body image struggles that put them at risk for disordered thoughts, feelings and behaviors. These challenges are perpetuated in athletic culture, with coaches and trainers often pushing extreme exercise and dieting behaviors. Female athletes are particularly susceptible to this. Guided by a National Collegiate Athletic Association grant, Trent Petrie, professor of psychology and director of UNT’s Center for Sport Psychology, and Dana K. Voelker, an assistant professor at West Virginia University, developed Bodies in Motion, an ongoing study examining the health, performance and psychological wellbeing of female collegiate athletes. UNT and WVU licensed the program to other departments and athletic offices around the nation and after the NCAA canceled sports seasons due to COVID-19, the program was provided free of charge for the 2020-21 athletic season. So UNT could lead the licensing endeavor, the RCA team executed a inter-institutional agreement with West Virginia University to allow other universities to sign three-year licensing agreements to use Bodies in Motion. In doing so, Petrie and Voelker can now evaluate the data and continue to make updates to the program to include male athletes. “Steven Tudor and the RCA team were very helpful in developing the original license agreement and continue to work well with the different universities who want to contract with us,” Petrie says.

EMPOWERING PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL YOUNGSTERS A smooth transition to school means that children can make friends, understand and follow the rules and meet the expectations of the classroom. The way families and schools prepare for a child’s transition into school can make a significant impact on a child’s later success. The Texas Home Institution for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) program serves as a catalyst for change at all levels — family, school and community — by increasing school readiness and parent involvement. Wendy Middlemiss, professor of educational psychology and director and principal investigator of HIPPY, has been instrumental in growing the program to include 11 sites in Texas. A new change in licensing led Middlemiss to work alongside the RCA team to ensure Texas HIPPY’s success going forward. HIPPY International, the organization that holds the license for the HIPPY curriculum, works in many countries and providing licenses through a central organization in that country. In the U.S., HIPPY USA licensed any entity providing the HIPPY program, and Texas sites paid their licensing fees to HIPPY USA. HIPPY USA, contracted with these sites to provide a certain portion of those fees back to the sites, minus the licensing fees that were sent to HIPPY International. “HIPPY International did not renew their contract with HIPPY USA this past year. As such, state offices, such as the Texas HIPPY at UNT took on the role,” Middlemiss says. “This means that HIPPY International contracts directly with UNT Texas HIPPY who then holds the license to subcontract that license use to our sites.” The change resulted in the creation of a new contract with HIPPY International, which is based in Israel. Also, new contracts were required with the sites so that the fees came directly to UNT. “Michael Rondelli and Janis Miller have spent countless hours helping us to maneuver through these changes,” Middlemiss says. “So we do not make any missteps in how to correctly collect these fees and avoid any unnecessary risk.”

ADOLESCENT AND TEEN STRESS STUDY For many adolescents and teens whose interactions with peers are so central to their lives and development, the Covid-19 pandemic has been especially difficult. In many cases, teens have been forced to weather stress, anxiety and other mental health challenges. Through her research as director of the Teen Stress and Alcohol Research (St.A.R.) laboratory, Heidemarie Blumenthal, associate professor of psychology, and her team examine the factors that may lead to adolescents starting risky behaviors. Blumenthal collaborated with Danica Slavish, assistant professor of psychology and director of the Sleep and Health in Everyday Life (SHEL) laboratory, to further investigate the role of sleep disturbances in adolescents experiencing high stress. Their goal was to determine the effectiveness of a low, moderate dose of CBD in improving rest, relaxation and mood. After working with an industry partner in the development and implementation of a pair of efficacy and safety tests, Blumenthal needed a non-disclosure agreement before the company was ready to go to market with two new supplement products and reached out to Michael Rondelli and Janis Miller for help. “Mike and Janis were exceptional collaborators and colleagues. My questions were always answered quickly, all the paperwork was drafted quickly, reviewed and returned and they were always available for meetings,” Blumenthal says. “We received great feedback from our industry collaborators.” Although Blumenthal has previous experience working with externally funded projects including the National Institutes of Health, it was her first experience working with industry and the RCA team. “Dr. Slavish and I often had questions we didn’t know who to go to about. Janis kindly offered to help us identify the proper channels numerous times,” Blumenthal says. “The RCA team really understood the urgency of contracting from both the university researcher and company side.”
