Technology institute gets $329,000 programs grant The Fred Meyer Charitable Trust of Portland awarded a $329,000 grant to a joint University and Oregon State University technology transfer project, officials of both institutions announced Tuesday. The Advanced Science and Technology In stitute was given the three-year award to further coordinate inter-university efforts to exchange newly developed technology with business and industry. ASTI is expected to be self-supporting by the end of the three-year period. “Knowledge unshared is knowledge lost, and ASTI enables Oregon research universities to bridge the gap that has sometimes existed be tween the scientists on our campus who are breaking new ground and the consumers of that new knowledge,” said Richard Hersh, University vice president for research. “The support from the Fred Meyer trust will be used to promote research activities that in volve some combination of both universities and I__ industry in cooperative research programs,” said George Keller, OSU dean of research. "The real theory behind ASTI is that univer sity research will be useful to industry, and will help close the bridge between the two,” said Lee Beyer, staff coordinator for the Southern Willamette Research Corridor. The grant will provide supplementary in come for existing ASTI programs, seed money for new program development, and some support for administration functions, Keller said. Other money will be used to improve the institute’s technical and executive seminars, and develop cooperative research programs in computer sciences and advanced materials. “As a two-university cooperative program, ASTI is a natural partnership of complementary research agendas, proximity of campuses, and na tionally respected science and engineering faculties,” Keller said. “The complementary nature of the research program in such areas as biotechnology, electronics, geosciences, biology, chemistry and physics is powerful.” I No-h olds-barred romance to open here Thursday “Talley’s Folley,” the second offering of University Theatre’s Second Season Series, opens Thursday at the Arena Theatre in Villard Hall.
