SUBJECT:

UCSD Economic Impact Study

UCSD Colleagues:

In an effort to gauge UCSD's full economic impact, we have retained a
research team from the Graduate School of International Relations and
Pacific Studies to determine the full extent to which local companies
and products are spin-offs of UCSD faculty, staff, student, and alumni
research and other creative activity. With this information, we can
better communicate the benefits of UCSD's research and enterprise to
elected officials, the business community, the voting public, and
others whose support we need.

If you can provide information or leads regarding such spin-offs,
please do so by filling out the attached questionnaire. If you have
any questions, please contact Winifred Cox in University
Communications (x40363), or either of us.

We greatly appreciate your assistance with this project.

Sincerely,

Bruce B. Darling           Richard Attiyeh
