Agreement w i t h Servants United Foundation (Mercy Division) (Exception to the General Rufes) (20) The Servants United Foundation (Mercy Division), a nonprofit organization of Urbana, and the University propose to jointly support research in biomedical applications of nuclear resonance. Paul Lauterbur, director of research, magnetic resonance imaging, and professor of medical information sciences, and M. Joan Dawson, associate professor, College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign, will conduct the research. Support totaling $2,950,000 for salaries, fringe benefits, equipment, and buildings for research will be provided. Of this amount, the University's obligation is $1,700,000, and the Foundation has committed $1,250,000. The agreement with the Foundation provides that the University will own all inventions, discoveries, and other developments arising from the research under the agreement. However, should such developments result in a license to a third party for intellectual property arising from the research, the University agrees to share net royalty income after deduction of expenses directly attributable to protecting and administering the invention and the share allocated to the inventor(s) under the University's standard distribution formula in proportion to the relative amount of support provided by the University and the Foundation under the agreement. The University's acceptance of these royalty sharing arrangements requires an exception to Article I I , Section 7(d) of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure. Because of the cooperative nature of this venture, the Colleges of Medicine at Chicago and at Urbana-Champaign and the vice chancellor for research at Urbana have agreed that the proposed royalty sharing terms are appropriate in the present case and recommend approval. The chancellor at the Urbana campus and the University Patent Committee concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Lamm; no, none; absent, Mr. Becker.)
