Industrial Associate Program Benefits
The CBE Industrial Associates Program provides support for industrially relevant research and allows productive interaction between industry representatives and CBE faculty, staff, and students.
Some specific benefits of membership are:
Twice each year CBE members convene! — what’s new in CBE research and what’s happening around the world in biofilm science.
The meeting is a great way to keep up on the science as wellas to interact with other industry and government representatives and CBE researchers.
Meetings are open only to CBE members and invited guests.
Education and training workshops
1. CBE members are entitled to attend either basic or advanced biofilm methods workshops free of charge.
2. Workshops are held the day before Montana Biofilm Meetings in both winter and summer, and feature the latest techniques in growing and assessing biofilms.
3. In addition, the CBE offers specialty workshops tailored to your individual company needs.
These can range from covering the latest microscopy techniques for your R&D department to assisting the education of your sales force in general understanding of biofilm concepts.
Research and testing projects
1. CBE members can fund research and testing projects at a discounted rate.
2. Advantages of directly funding project work at the CBE include complete confidentiality and project direction by scientists and engineers at the top of biofilm investigation.
3. In addition, the CBE offers Industrial Associate members no-cost participation in small testing projects of their choosing.
4. This is an opportunity to have a top-notch student or CBE staff member work on a problem specific to your needs, at no additional cost.
Product/IP development consulting
1. CBE faculty and staff can assist members in evaluating commercial or product-related ideas as they relate to biofilms or biofilm control.
2. Each member company is entitled to two free days of consulting annually.
3. We can offer confidential feedback on R&D direction, marketing ideas, or strategic decisions.
Many of our members have found that this benefit alone is worth the annual membership fee.
Regulatory interactions
•Bringing a product to market today frequently requires registration with, or approval of, a regulatory agency.
•CBE staff maintain close ties with decision makers at FDA, EPA, and other US Government agencies concerned with biofilms.
•CBE scientists are on the forefront of biofilm methods development and assessment—areas of expertise frequently sought out by the regulatory community.
•In addition, it’s our policy to feature regulatory agency speakers at our Montana Biofilm Meetings whenever possible.
•If you are seeking insight into the process of registration or approval, the CBE can help.

Collaboration with Academia
we currently work with several universities (including CSU)contractually
direct funding to researcher / graduate student
collaborate on research funded through NSFcollaborative grant writing
data sharinge.g., possibly provide WorldView 2 data to Geospatial centroid

a. What models for industry-CSU R&D efforts will work for IAC companies? Ranges from Consultative -> “shared research” -> cross-licensing- how IP is dealt with is critical- we’d encourage clarity around open source (does CSU have a policy, a common approach, what?)
b. When can a group of IAC companies work together with CSU faculty in a joint R&D effort? When there’s a shared benefit, e.g. a standard, an open source solution

Hewlett-Packardc. What would motivate IAC companies to work with CSU faculty on R&D?
Right expertise with the right arrangement
d. What types of financial support arrangements are possible? Varies – equipment (very common) or $s
e. What will companies want in return for financial R&D support? - hard deliverables (code, paper, …)- a reference (suitable for the press, sales, …)
f. How can company members best work with CSU faculty on R&D? Turning this around, what deters collaboration is all too often not thinkingabout this as an approach, and not knowing what expertise there is.
