Districts 1, 2, 3, 4The New Hampshire House of Representatives has formally removed all funding for the New Hampshire Innovation Research Center (NHIRC), the state’s only funding for university-industry collaborations.

We need your help as past awardees to restore funding at or above prior levels. Join other New Hampshire Businesses in contacting your senator to support the NHIRC.

Here’s what to do:

1. Contact your senator.

2. Tell them why NHIRC is important for New Hampshire.

3. Tell them why NHIRC is important to your company.

Albany Engineered Composites, Inc., Rochester, NH

The technology developed in this project will allow us to broaden AEC’s markets by expanding the range of components that can be fabricated using 3D weaving and resin transfer molding. While these technologies are relatively new, they are be-ing used in some major programs, such as the CFM LEAP-X engineer program, and the landing gear braces for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. For growing, leading technology companies like AEC, it is crucial to be able to participate in high risk-high impact research through NHIRC. It should also be noted that NHIRC funding is also crucial for UNH in providing its faculty and students the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in collaboration with the industry, thereby providing the next generation of engineers and scientists who will continue to grow the economy of our State.”

Celdara Medical, Lebanon, NH

Without our first NHIRC award we may not have been able to raise angel fund-ing in such a difficult economic climate, we would not have a CLIA-certified lab in which to develop and bring to market a diagnostic/prognostic/predictive test for patients with scleroderma. Without it, we may have had to close our doors, or more likely, we may well have opened our doors in VT or MA.”

~ Jake Reder, CEO, 2008 NHIRC Project

An IRC grant catalyzed the start of ImmuRx, Inc., a biotechnology company. It got us started with a grant of $69,000. We have since raised over $5,000,000, hired skilled workers and moved our cancer treatment toward commercializa-tion. We are on target to keep growing.”

Twenty one years ago, five UNH graduate students helped develop a suite of design auto-mation software tools that ASC commercialized and established the company as a worldwide leader of state of the art EDA tools. I am planning to apply for a NHIRC grant to match the IRS QTDP grant our small business recently received to begin development of a control hub for cancer therapies. This is the first stage in our growth plan aimed at creating 66 highly paid professional jobs and countless manufacturing positions over the next five years.”

Presstek, Inc., Hudson, NHOur NHIRC project has led to at least one new patent application for Presstek. Through the NHIRC, we are able to bring innovative products to the market which means new revenue and creation of new jobs, or at the very least the preservation of jobs that Presstek supports now. New approaches such as those developed in partnership with UNH and the NHIRC to provide us with the growth opportunities we need to re-establish our revenues and secure our future.”

~ Richard Kearney, Research/Development, 2009 NHIRC Award

Conductive Compounds, Hudson, NHThe fact that a small business in the state of New Hampshire was able to join forces with a small group of researchers at a state university to participate in what is considered the current “holy grail” of material science and commercialization is extraordinary. My company employs 13 people, we are currently hiring three more and have sustained double digit growth over the past three years despite the economy. We have sales offices throughout Europe, Israel, Russia and in three key areas in Asia. Research into nanopartical metals was way beyond the scope of a small business like mine, but with the NHIRC matched funding and the resources at UNH, we will end with a commercially viable means to manufacture and sell specialty inks and coatings.”~ Don Banfield, CEO, 2011 NHIRC Awardee

Velcro Group Corporation, Manchester, NH

The NHIRC eased Velcro’s transition to collaborative interaction with UNH by match-ing their investment and thereby doubling their investment’s impact. Our project is aimed at developing new fastening technologies based on nanoscale structures developed at UNH (i.e., new nanotechnologies). Velcro is likely to utilize this devel-oping technology for years to come to produce next generation fastening products. This would favorably impact NH’s economy by increasing manufacturing jobs, not to mention corporate tax revenues.”

NHIRC has been critical in continued collaboration with UNH scientists and researchers. Our public/private colalboration has led to significant funding for both my company and UNH.”

~ William Salas, President, 2009 NHIRC Award

Xemed, Durham, NH

A breakthrough in medical imaging, achieved through funding from the IRC, has also been the catalyst for acceleration of commercial success for Xemed. Xemed recently received a contract to develop its imaging technology from a major pharmaceutical company. Several research hospitals worldwide are lining up to acquire Xemed’s recently announced xenon polarizer product. Each sale will produce close to $1MM in revenue. Many states have state-funded mechanisms to attract and support small technology businesses. Xemed would not have achieved its present trajectory without grant assistance from the IRC.”

Itaconix, Hampton Falls, NH

Our privately-held green technology company founded in 2008 develops polymers that are derived from renewable resources and that replace the petroleum-based chemicals used in products such as detergents. Our company has demonstrated remarkable growth and in 2009 announced the commercial launch of its first two products. Most recently, we have filed 5 patents related to our NHIRC projects.”

~ John Shaw, President, 2010 NHIRC Award

Foss Manufacturing, Hampton, NH

The IRC award allowed us to carry our analytical work and gain the understanding needed to optimize the processing of an antimicrobial agent into a polymer. At the same time we worked in parallel with the FDA to gain FDA clearance on thesafety and efficacy of thetechnology. The recent FDA clearance and ongoing process op-timization, developed in part through this research program, will help us to attain more sales.”
