2010Enviro_FriendlyEnergy+NanoMed

Details are coming together for the April 2010 Seminar. This seminar will focus on Environmentally Friendly Energy and Nano-Med, including three seminar tracks :

• - Energy Creation
• - Movement and Efficient Energy Usage
• - Nano-Med

---

To bring understanding of health and emerging science to the public. Through mixed public forums and the advancement of educational research, we will unify and advance public understanding.

We have added a method for Foundations to subsidize projects for NRSG Seminar and Business Matching Services. These projects can be companies, research or simple inventions.

Risk Assessment Mechanism

Rating Form Tool
--> ( Written in Perl then php )

Model of Assessment Phases

Research (Inside the Research looking Out)
1) Pre / History based - steps
2) During / Safety based + Clear milestones + Possible Physical Risk
3) Reflective / Dependencies on other research
4) Post / Possible effect on other research
5) Commercial Assessment / Commercialization viability
6) Ethical Positioning / Alignment Risk


EcoSystem (Outside the Research looking at the Research)
7) Adoption
8) Containment
9) Job creation
10) Expertise alignment / Resources /
11) Venue requirements
12) Venue availability


Alignment (Outside the Research looking at other Research)
13) Alignment to other research
14) Research Overlap
15) Differentiation / Marketability / Market understanding-adoption
16) Investments in related efforts ( Commercial and Public )
17) Media / public information proliferation

Filtering model - Distill to ?3 numbers

--------------------------------

Multi - Input

Average all input in the three sections.
Review outlying 5% and
- highlight and re-average
- re-poll reviewers with these outlying questions.

Assign a number to each reviewer. Request input on each reviewers current activities. Track reviewer activities vrs review input to create a reviewer trend model. This is interesting to find a norm and to see what percentage of liberal researchers are conservative reviewers ( polar ).

Reviewer Feedback

Provide a graphical feedback mechanism (e.g. one dot for their current work, another for their input, another for the average input, and some stats on specialty vrs review input ). The two feedback granularities are this review, and for overall reviews.

Finance

NRSG Financial Tool Research

NRSG will begin research in a tool that helps assess financial dependencies.
Today Law offices can quickly assess if a "conflict of interest" might exist. This mechanism needs to be advanced in the financial industry also.

Risk

NRSG Risk / Ethical Research Project


This is a model, mechanically similar to work implemented by Micheal Jorgensen - Denmark, and is intended to funnel numerous scientific cross-functional variables into a synthesized estimation of Risk. Here risk is used in the broad sense, including factors of physical, commercial, ethical, and public understanding.

Research

NRSG Doing Research

NRSG looks for Research projects which are both stepping stones to advancing other research, and those that can fall between Academic and Commercial interests.

In some cases, these can be research areas that lightly overlap many traditional funding sources, and thus are less served by other financing mechanisms. These are increasingly seen as "Cross Functional" research projects.

Two projects currently on our list :

Research / Risk / Rating Model

Finance / Ethical Finance Tool
