236 BOARD OF T R U S T E E S [April 16 budget based on assumptions similar to those used in developing the budgets of the Urbana-Champaign campus residence halls, plus projections of costs for special services1 to be provided the occupants of the Beckwith Living Center, has been developed. Based on this budget, the chancellor at Urbana-Champaign recommends rates of $600 per month per individual for single room occupancy, $600 per month per individual for double occupancy of an apartment unit, and $800 per month per family for family occupancy of an apartment for 1981-82. Minor additional charges for services required by the student beyond the basic special services package would be authorized by the chancellor. The executive vice president concurs in this recommendation. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Proposed Joint Research Agreement a m o n g International Business Machines Corporation, National Science Foundation, a n d the University of Illinois (15) A joint research agreement among International Business Machines Corporation ( I B M ) , the National Science Foundation, and the University of Illinois has been proposed. Under the agreement IBM scientists will collaborate with Urbana-Champaign Department of Physics staff members using the IBM synchrotron radiation source facility at Stoughton, Wisconsin. IBM will also make available highly technical equipment to the University. The National Science Foundation will provide $330,000 for this pure physics research project. IBM has asked for an exception to the University's rules regarding patents because of the fundamental scientific nature of the proposed joint project. The exception would provide that all inventions arising from the project be placed in the public domain through publication unless, within ninety days of the request of one of the parties, all three parties agree to treat any invention in a different manner. T h e University Patent Committee has reviewed the proposed exception and recommends approval. The executive vice president concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Proposed Cooperative Agreement with Zimmer USA (16) Zimmer USA, a major U.S. supplier of bone cement used in orthopedic surgery, has offered to support research proposed by the Department of Ceramic Engineering at Urbana-Champaign on the properties of stereoregular poly (methyl methacrylate) which is the basis of most such cement. The proposed research seeks to extend knowledge of this polymer system to improve biocompatibility and mechanical performance. Total funding will be about $22,000 for one year. T h e proposed agreement contains a patent clause that requires an exception to the patent policy as expressed in the General Rules of the University. Zimmer USA seeks a twelve-month exclusive option to negotiate for an exclusive license on any patent applied for resulting from and within the scope of this investigation. The royalty rate to be negotiated would not exceed 6 percent of net sales, and any exclusive license would be limited to six years from the date of the initial execution unless products are developed and marketed. The University Patent Committee has reviewed the proposed exception to patent policy and recommends approval. I concur. On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved. Includes assistance in personal care, dressing, diet, and instruction and training in independence. 1
