  • Making Grants to Solve Social and Environmental Problems at Home and Around the World
    Making grants to solve social and environmental problems at home and around the world THE WILLIAM AND FLORA HEWLETT FOUNDATION 2008 Annual Report Forms of Philanthropic Support: The Centrality of Alignment* Paul Brest Nonprofit organizations are the core of civil society. Vibrant organizations require unrestricted capital and need excellent leaders with considerable autonomy to develop and implement their plans. But these organizations and their leaders also depend on funders, who have their own passions, goals, and ideas. How are the interests of donors and nonprofits reconciled in the philanthropic world? Some funders use the power of their purses to resolve the tension in a lopsided way that satisfies their egos but ultimately disserves society. They make small, short-term grants focused on narrowly defined concerns. They require organizations to jump through hoops during the application process, and then micromanage grantees’ activities. In fact, unrestricted, general operating support for organizations accounts for only about 19 percent of all foundation grant dollars.1 Concerned with the pervasive undercapitalization of nonprofit organizations, Independent Sector, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, and the Nonprofit Finance Fund have strongly advocated that funders provide multi-year, renewable general support.2 At the same time, a small but increasing number of venture philanthropists are providing successful nonprofits the funds necessary to expand.3 Most venture philanthropists support organizations that provide services— education, after-school programs, visits by nurse practitioners. But general support is equally valuable for organizations engaged in research and advocacy, ranging from universities and think tanks to environmental organizations. For all of the value of general support, however, there are often good reasons to fund specific projects.

  • Thick Description of Peer Review Is Required
    Peer Review: Objectivity, Anonymity, Trust A Dissertation Presented by Hans Daniel Ucko to The Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Stony Brook University May 2020 Copyright by Hans Daniel Ucko 2020 Stony Brook University The Graduate School Hans Daniel Ucko We, the dissertation committee for the above candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this dissertation. Robert Crease, Professor Department of Philosophy Anne O’Byrne Associate Professor Department of Philosophy Harvey Cormier Associate Professor Department of Philosophy George Sterman Distinguished Professor Department of Physics and Astronomy This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School Eric Wertheimer Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Peer Review: Objectivity, Anonymity, Trust by Hans Daniel Ucko Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Stony Brook University 2020 Objectivity is a concept that looms large over science. As a society we approve of objective approaches, methods, and attitudes. Objectivity can mean a lot of things: a correspondence with reality, a reliable epistemological process, or an attitude or stance of a scientist. Peer review is an important part of scientific evaluation. Results do not count as science until they are made public, or published. The means by which scientific manuscripts are found to be suitable for publication is peer review, in which usually an editor consults one or more referees to ask for a judgment on the scientific work by an author or authors. These referees are asked to be representatives of a community, that is, they are asked for an objective evaluation not only from their standpoint but instead standing in for an entire community.

EXPLORING PRECISION FDA, AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR CROWDSOURCING GENOMICS Jordan Paradise* ABSTRACT: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has created an online platform for the next generation sequencing community, enabling users to evaluate biomarker in- formation and share resources. This article examines this online platform and offers sev- eral observations about potential legal and regulatory implications. CITATION: Jordan Paradise, Exploring PrecisionFDA, an Online Platform for CrowdsourcingGenomics, 58 JuRIMETRIcS J. 267-282 (2018). Precision medicine is here, with rapid advancements in the technologies, tools, and life-saving products entering the market for the treatment of serious and life-threatening disease. In May 2017, the United States Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDA) approved the first cancer treatment for solid tumors based on a genetic biomarker rather than the tissue of origin.1 One month later, the agency approved a companion diagnostic panel that uses next generation se- quencing (NGS) to simultaneously screen a genetic sample for 23 cancer genes, three of which have FDA-approved therapies for non-small cell lung cancer.2 *Georgia Reithal Professor of Law, Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

  • Open Innovation and External Sources of Innovation. an Opportunity to Fuel
    Schuhmacher et al. J Transl Med (2018) 16:119 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12967-018-1499-2 Journal of Translational Medicine REVIEW Open Access Open innovation and external sources of innovation. An opportunity to fuel the R&D pipeline and enhance decision making? Alexander Schuhmacher1* , Oliver Gassmann2, Nigel McCracken3 and Markus Hinder4 Abstract Historically, research and development (R&D) in the pharmaceutical sector has predominantly been an in-house activity. To enable investments for game changing late-stage assets and to enable better and less costly go/no-go decisions, most companies have employed a fail early paradigm through the implementation of clinical proof-of-con- cept organizations. To fuel their pipelines, some pioneers started to complement their internal R&D eforts through collaborations as early as the 1990s. In recent years, multiple extrinsic and intrinsic factors induced an opening for external sources of innovation and resulted in new models for open innovation, such as open sourcing, crowdsourc- ing, public–private partnerships, innovations centres, and the virtualization of R&D. Three factors seem to determine the breadth and depth regarding how companies approach external innovation: (1) the company’s legacy, (2) the company’s willingness and ability to take risks and (3) the company’s need to control IP and competitors. In addition, these factors often constitute the major hurdles to efectively leveraging external opportunities and assets. Conscious and diferential choices of the R&D and business models for diferent companies and diferent divisions in the same company seem to best allow a company to fully exploit the potential of both internal and external innovations.

  • 1 Niva Elkin-Koren* Creative Commons Is a Non-Profit US-Based
    ELKIN-KOREN – DRAFT FEBRUARY 14, 2006 2006 EXPLORING CREATIVE COMMONS 1 EXPLORING CREATIVE COMMONS: A SKEPTICAL VIEW OF A WORTHY PURSUIT THE FUTURE OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN (P. Bernt Hugenholtz & Lucie Guibault, eds.) Kluwer Law International, forthcoming 2006. Niva Elkin-Koren* I. INTRODUCTION Creative Commons is a non-profit US-based organization, which operates a licensing platform to promote free use of creative works. This innovative initiative is using license agreements for the purpose of strengthening the public domain. The high cost associated with securing a license to use works becomes a serious obstacle for the use and reuse of works created by others. By reducing the legal costs associated with the use of creative content, Creative Commons seeks to make it easier for non-profit players to engage in creative enterprises. The licensing platform aims at lowering the transaction costs of both licensing and acquiring a license for reuse. At the producer's end, authors are offered a licensing scheme for distributing their works for non-commercial use while at the same time safeguarding those works against abuse and misappropriation of their efforts by asserting copyrights. The idea is to facilitate the release of creative works under generous license terms that would make works available for sharing and reuse. At the users' end, the platform is expected to make it easier for prospective creators to identify works, which are available under generous terms, for subsequent creation. Creative Commons advocates the use of copyrights in a rather subversive way that would ultimately change their meaning. Its strategy does not aim at creating a public domain, at least not in the strict legal sense of a regime that is free of any exclusive proprietary rights.

  • Open Content - Bestandsaufnahme Und Versuch Einer Definition
    Open Content - Bestandsaufnahme und Versuch einer Definition Diplomarbeit im Fach Informatik Vorgelegt von Andreas John Waldeyerstr. 12, 10247 Berlin Matrikelnummer: 181939 Angefertigt am Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik und Quantitative Methoden der Technischen Universität Berlin, Fakultät IV (Informatik) Prof. Dr. iur. Bernd Lutterbeck Betreuer: Matthias Bärwolf Abgabe der Arbeit: 14.02.2006 Open Content - Seite 2 I. Zusammenfassung Unter dem Schlagwort Open Content soll der Erfolg von Open-Source-Software auf andere Werkgattungen übertragen werden. Aufwind erhält die Idee des Open Content durch die zunehmende Ausweitung und Befestigung des geistigen Eigentums durch Recht und Architektur, die sich konträr zu den Möglichkeiten digitaler Technologien und weltweiten Networkings verhält. Um Autoren und Künstlern eine klar erkennbare Alternative zu diesen Entwicklungen zu bieten, soll diese Arbeit helfen, den immer noch verschwommenen Begriff Open Content zu schärfen. Anhand einer strukturierten Beobachtung potenzieller Open-Content- Phänomene und eines Vergleiches mit Open-Source-Software wird gezeigt: Hauptthese: Die Prinzipien von Open-Source-Software lassen sich nur dann sinnvoll auf andere Werkgattungen übertragen, wenn die Eigenschaften von OSS nicht formal übernommen, sondern in den Kontext der anderen Werkgattungen übersetzt werden. Auf Basis der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wird ein Definitionsentwurf im Sinne einer Übersetzung zur Diskussion gestellt. Konsequenz dieser Übersetzung ist u.a., dass Modifizierbarkeit und kommerzielle Nutzung und Verwertung keine konstituierenden Eigenschaften von Open Content sind. Der Definitionsentwurf lautet im Volltext: Definitionsentwurf: Open Content sind schöpferische Werke, wie z.B. Bilder, Musik oder Artikel, mit Ausnahme von Software, die derart veröffentlicht wurden, dass sie ohne die Erlaubnis eines anderen oder durch eine neutral erteilte Erlaubnis an jedermann konsumiert, zitiert und mindestens nichtkommerziell kopiert und verbreitet werden können.
