faculty and graduate students involved in these activities. Today, only a very smallpercentage of engineers and scientists who are involved in research are exposed to technologycommercialization training or activity. At many research universities, the primary role for facultyis very oriented towards scientific production, more than either teaching or entrepreneurialengagement. Many individual and institutional factors are believed to influence academicresearchers’ decisions regarding whether to engage in academic entrepreneurship, and whether tocontinue to stay involved. Therefore, increasing participation requires a comprehensiveunderstanding of academic researcher motivations.Motivation for EntrepreneurshipMotivation is defined as “a set of

mechanics and bioprocess engineering. She began her position as Director of Community Programs and Diversity Outreach at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 2003. In partnership with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, she develops and implements programs for K-12 students, teachers, un- dergraduates, and families that are designed to increase scientific and engineering literacy, and to inspire people with diverse backgrounds to pursue science and engineering careers. At the undergraduate level, she directs a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program that brings students to Harvard for 10 weeks to work in research laboratories. This program hosts between 45-70
