these technologies

• $6 million from NIJ, all of which stays in Ohio and will be used for personnel and operations of the national center at UDRI

• $900,000 from RDCAP for additional instrumentation for IDCAST specific to NIJ activity

UDRI – RDCAP Proposal• NIJ is most interested in proposals that leverage existing

centers/facilities/personnel. NIJ states it will evaluate proposed costs to NIJ relative to the project’s overall scope, impact and benefit

• 15% of the evaluation is based on the cost proposal, to include cost share, and the above criteria

• This will be the only NIJ center of its kind and, if awarded to UDRI, will move this activity from New York

• Aligns extremely well with current work and capabilities of UD, UDRI, IDCAST and the Dayton region in remote sensing, wide area surveillance, chemical/biological sensing, environmental monitoring, and biometrics

• Provides this group with an entirely new funding stream and sponsor type

Philips Healthcare

Global Advanced Imaging Innovation Center

(GAIIC)

Philips – RDCAP Proposal

• Philips-Cleveland is a research, product development, assembly, training, and product showcase hub. – 1,100 employees (300 R&D)

– Global HQ for Philips computed tomography and nuclear medicine businesses

– NA HQ for Imaging System’s Refurbishment business

– Field Service Academy and Training facility – 5,000 people per year

– Existing partnership with OSU and CWRU through a Wright Center of Innovation


• Philips partnering with University Hospitals and Case• Center could be based within both a renovated space of UH and

within UH’s new cancer hospital • Both prototype and newly released equipment would be sited for

clinical feedback and enhancement• Clinicians and researchers from UH and Case would be co-located

with Philips product development personnel• Such a Center would:

– Test and evaluate prototype and new-to-market technologies– Develop and test investigational molecular imaging agents on various

instrumentation– Help secure development of new imaging technologies for Philips– Provide research access to and collaboration around new, highly

advanced imaging technologies(R&D, product development, manufacturing/assembly, and clinical partnerships are currently scattered globally, requiring extensive travel)


• Philips will set R&D direction, both clinical and technological. Philips will also supply equipment, engineers, and product development expertise to the Center

• UH will provide space and supply both patients and clinicians from Neurology, Cardiology, Pathology, and Oncology to alpha and beta test new devices

• Case will provide research personnel, technology evaluation, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, research services, students and additional equipment/instrumentation


• Phase I– Philips $33.4 million ($6.8 million for Philips & UH personnel, $10.65

million for equipment, and $15.9 million for R&D services).

– Initially 5 new high-level Philips senior R&D staff

– RDCAP $5 million to UH, and Case as fiscal agent, for equipment for the center

• Possible Phase II– Additional Philips investment equal to or greater than Phase I

– The potential of an additional 20 Philips R&D positions

– Targeted Industry Attraction ?

– Traditional incentives ?


• Other GAIIC Possibilities– Eindhoven, The Netherlands – Philips headquarters, and location of the

Center for Translational Molecular Medicine and partnerships with 4 medical centers/hospitals in the Netherlands and Germany

• Qualifies for support through Europe’s $50 billion Framework 7 program

– Haifa, Israel – over 200 R&D employees and partnerships with 3 medical centers/centers of excellence

• Qualifies for support through Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist

– Suzhou, China – Imaging Systems Industrial Campus, 11/09

– Additionally, Israel and China are both better located to serve emerging, and ultimately dominant, markets
