Participants
The 2003 annual meeting of the NC1003 Committee was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, New Brunswick, NJ, Feb. 28-March. A one and one-third day conference was held on the topic, ?Intellectual Property and Agricultural Research: Implications for Public and Private Sectors.? A keynote lecture was given by Professor Richard R. Nelson, the George Blumenthal Professor of International and Public Affairs, Business and Law at Columbia University. His topic was, ?The Market Economy and the Scientific Commons.? Five other scholars from outside the Committee membership were also on the programs. In all, 17 research papers were presented in sessions on (a) Perspectives on Patents and Research from Outside and Inside Agriculture, (b) Technology Prices, Patents, Plant Breeders? Rights and Trade Secrets, (c) Intellectual Property Rights, Productivity of Technology, and Public Sector Research, (d) Mechanisms for Reducing Hold-ups, and (e) IPRs and International Research and Technology Transfer. See the program included in Appendix A. Over 50 participants attended from 17 universities, from USDA agencies, and from other research organizations.
Principal Investigators on the IFAFS grant "Innovation and Dynamic Efficiency in Agricultural Biotechnology" held a pre-conference meeting in New Brunswick. The project will develop a web-based database of agricultural biotechnology patents, and will use the database to investigate the impact of intellectual property laws and market structure on innovative activity. The project involves NC-1003 members and collaborators from Rutgers, ERS, Auburn, and Cornell.
At the business meeting on March 1st, the new Administrative Advisor, Professor Marshall Martin, Purdue University, made report on exceptions for multistate committees. He also Marshall spoke briefly about the NIMS system (National Information Management and Support System). The NIMS system is a web-based application that allows participants of Multi-state Research Projects and Activities to submit proposals and reports online. The website is: http://www.lgu.umd.edu/login.cfm. Interested parties, stakeholders and cooperators can query the System for relevant and timely information. Reports, minutes, and information about publications and other activities can be linked to NIMS for others to access and obtain information about NC-1003. It is also a way for NC-1003 members to stay informed about other multi-state projects.
New Committee members, Jeremy Foltz (Wisconsin), GianCarlo Moschini (Iowa State), Norbert Wilson (Auburn), and Yin Xia, were welcomed to the Project. State research reports were presented.
Plans were made for the 2004 meeting and symposium. The group decided to title the conference, ?Research Impacts and Decisions Strategies for Biotechnology,? to hold the meeting in early March at the relatively new Danforth Plant Science Center, St. Louis, MO. Also, this location is close the Monsanto research facility and tours of the Danforth Center and Monsanto were planned. George Norton, Greg Traxler, Charles Moss, and Yin Xia were appointed by the Chair to the program Committee.
George Norton, Chair, of the officers? nominating committee, reported that Wallace Huffman (IA) was nominated one-year terms as Chair and George Frisvold (AZ) was nominated as Secretary. The vote was unanimous.

Accomplishments
Accomplishments and Impacts:
This has been the second full year following renewal of the NC-1003 project, which has following three research objectives: (1) To estimate the expected and actual flow of benefits an costs of research for agriculture, rand related areas, including incidence of their distribution; (2) To analyze decision strategies for funding, planning, managing, and evaluating agricultural research by public institutions and private organizations, and (3) To analyze opportunities, risks and net benefits from existing and potential public-private sector linkages, including new institutions, technology transfer mechanisms, and freedom to operate.
This year the project has produced an excellent set of publications, papers, and presentations. See the attached publication list, showing 48 publications (Group I) in refereed journal, books, and chapters in books for 2003, and 46 publications in Group II (forthcoming and miscellaneous publications). See Appendix A for a detailed summary of progress.
Some especially noteworthy accomplishments over the past year include the following:
* Scientists at AESs in Arizona, California, Iowa, Indiana, New Jersey, Virgina, and Wisconsin and the Economic Research service have completed extensive examinations of consumer acceptance and resistance to GM-technologies and food products, farmers acceptance of GM technologies, and ethical issues associated with new technologies. This research is providing important information to public policy officials who are trying to understand the GM-technology/food debate.
* Scientists at Arizona, California, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia have completed an extensive examination of the effects of public research on the efficient use of natural resources and adjustments to climate change. Their proposals include new government programs to pay farmers to sequester carbon in trees and other plants. This research is helping government agencies and state governments make policy to deal with these resource issues.
* Scientists at Iowa and Yale are working with the Executive Director of the Northeast Experiment Station Directors and ESCOP to prepare a four page bulletin to make the case with Congress for additional formula funding of SAS research.
* Scientists at Indiana, California, and Minnesota have been working to develop new funding instruments for agricultural research in the International Center System and for poor African countries.
* A large number of papers have been presented by members of the committee at the American Agricultural Economics Association Meetings, Montreal, July 27-30, 2003: at the Triennial Meetings of the International Association of Agricultural Economists, Durbin, South Africa, August 16-22, 2003; and the 7th Conference of the International Agricultural Biotechnology Consortium, Ravello, Italy, June 29-July 2, 2003. A smaller but important number of papers were presented by members at the Annual Meetings of the Rural Sociology Society.
* One committee member has been appointed to a National Academy of Sciences Committee on intellectual property in genomics and proteomics.
