Grants C::;ommittee Actions Bring Total Research AW'ards to S 3 .1 MillionResearch Corporation's Cottrell Program Advisory Committee recommended 67 new grants in the totalamount of $854,639 at its last 1982meetin g held in October. These grants,for basic research in the natural andphysical sciences at 57 colleges anduniversities, bring the year's total to ahefty $3.1 million.
Th e awards were made under both ofthe foun dation's Grants Program subdivisions : $238,054 was devoted to 19Cottrell College Science Grants, and$616,585 will fund 48 Cottrell ResearchGrants. Th e first program supports research in the natural sciences at private undergraduate institutions. Thesecond-Cottrell Research-aids workin the phys ical sciences at graduate universit ies and public undergraduate institutions.
The approval rate for grants applications presented at the committee meeting was somewhat lower than at someprevious sessions: about 43 percent ofapplications presented won committeeapproval. Applicat ions still pendi ng willbe considered at the first meeting in1983, to be held in February. The following grants have been made as aresult of actions taken in October.

Authority in BusinessDevelopDlent Joins lAPDonald M. Coyne, a chemist, chemicalengineer and expert in the developmentof new business has joined ResearchCorporation's Invention AdministrationProgram. In addition to assisting withthe evaluation and licensing of new technology, Dr. Coyne will help the foundation expand its technology transferefforts.
Supplementing its patent licensingactivities, Research Corporation willuse venture capital and entrepreneurialtechniques to develop inventions underplans now being formulated.
A native of Olathe, Kans., Dr. Coynegraduated from the Universities of Kansas and Pittsburgh, and holds an MBAas well as degrees in chemistry. After anumber of years in the petrochemicalindustry, he joined Gulf Oil Corporation in 1963. An executive with GulfScience & Technology Co. from 1975until 1982, Coyne held posts as Manager of Marketing Research and Manager, Technology Transfer, and servedas Washington representative.
Dr. Coyne is a member of the Commercial Development Association andimmediate past president, and memberof the American Chemical and Licensing Executives Societies.
Foundation Counsel toGuide Invention PatentingJerome (Jerry) M. Teplitz has beennamed in-house patent counsel for Research Corporation's Invention Administration Program. He will oversee thefiling of patent applications and theirprosecution by outside firms retainedby the foundation. Teplitz joins attorney Robert J. Sanders, Jr., who has beenmade General Counsel.
Mr. Teplitz, trained both as a chemical engineer and an attorney, served asan examiner at the U.S. Patent andTrademark Office before undertaking acareer in industry and later in privatepractice. Prior to joining Research Corporation, he was patent counsel for University Patents, Inc. of Norwalk, Conn.

and a member of the firm of Holmanand Stern of Washington, D.C.
He is registered to practice beforethe U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,and is admitted to the Illinois, Maryland and Federal Bars, and the Courtof Customs and Patent Appeals.
Patent Associate Retires;Expert on PharDlaceuticalsAbraham Bavley, a research scientistand prolific inventor with over 60 patents in such fields as color photography, pharmaceuticals and chemical processes, has retired as a professionalstaff member of Research Corporation'sInvention Administration Program.
Dr. Bavley, a Harvard-educated organic chemist well known in both business and academic circles, came to thefoundation in 1974 following a careeras an industrial scientist and executivefor such firms as GAF, Philip Morrisand Marion Laboratories, and as afacuity member in pharmaceutics forthe Universities of Tennessee andMissouri.
During his years at Research Corporation, Dr. Bavley evaluated most ofthe drug inventions submitted to thefoundation, including a number thatlater proved successful. Although retired, he will remain a consultant to thefoundation on pharmaceuticals reviewed for patenting and licensing.
Foundation AnnualReport Due in MarchThe Research Corporation annual report for 1982 is planned for March1983 publication and will be availableby early spring to all those requesting it.
In contrast to the reports of recentyears, published in January, the newoffering will be illustrated and will feature in-depth coverage of especiallyinteresting grants and invention administration projects.
Those not now on the list to receivethe foundation's report can request itby writing to Director of Communications, Research Corporation, 405 Lexington Ave., New York, N.Y. 10174.
QUARTERLY BULLETINFALL 1982
Research Corporation, 405 Lexington Ave.,New York, N.Y. 10174-0370
A foundation for the advancementof science and technology, ResearchCorporation serves educational andscientific institutions through grantsin-aid for basic research in the natural sciences, and by furthering theapplication of scientific discoveries.
Grants ProgramCottrell Research Grants support
basic investigations in the physicalsciences at graduate universities andpublic undergraduate institutions.
Cottrell College Science Grantssupport academic research projectsin the natural sciences at privateundergraduate institutions.
In addition to these regular programs, Research Corporation occasionally supports other importantscientific endeavors within its generalfields of interest.
Invention Administration programServices contributed to educational
and scientific institutions includeevaluating facuity and staff inventions, accepting assignment of thosewhich appear to be useful and marketable, applying for patents throughqualified counsel, licensing issuedpatents to industry, and defendingagainst infringement when necessary.
Royalties received from patentsassigned to the foundation are apportioned among the inventor, theinstitution and Research Corporation, with the institution's patentpolicy determining the inventor'sshare. The foundation's share is usedto help support its Grants and Invention Administration Programs.
The Quarterly Bulletin is published three times yearly, with theAnnual Report constituting a fourthissue. Articles may be quoted inwhole or in part with credit to Research Corporation. Invention administration projects are reported inResearch and Invention, an occasional newsletter. Address correspondence to W. Stevenson Bacon,Director of Communications.
