5. Academics for Access Website http://www.academicsforaccess.org  Launched November 2009  Purpose: to build an ongoing network that serve as a platform for professors and administrators sympathetic to UAEM  Functions:  Statement of Principles and Commitment  Collect names, departments, fields of research…  Pool resources, articles, quarterly updates

7. Statement of Principles and Commitment “… We therefore call on universities to adopt flexible technology transfer policies that will ensure that medicines discovered on campus or with public funding are available at low-cost in developing countries… We also commit ourselves to proactively push for adoption of such patenting and licensing policies on our campuses through evidence-based action while extending our knowledge to students through research and academic rigor. ”

8. Academics for Access: Next Steps  Maintain Statement of Principles and Commitments?  Connect to main UAEM website  Collect and post articles, papers, journals…  Build a database of academics  Collaborate with ND?  Best strategies?  Develop two (parallel) databases?  One entered by academics, another by students

10. Drug Biographies Purpose:  Build an accessible library for UAEM detailing the development of significant essential medicines  Allow quick access to key information for drug- specific campaigns (e.g. WHO Essential Meds)  Eventually, help identify potential targets for another drug-specific campus campaign

11.  A biography includes information on:  Uses and class of drug (diseases treated)  Principle investigators involved in its discovery and their academic institutions  Relevant publications  Patent information (date, number, assignee)  Licenses (licensor, licensee, date)  Manufacturer and pricing Drug Biographies

13.  62 drugs of interest identified Includes 10 biologics  34 biographies assigned, 13 completed  Completed biographies are available on Central Desktop under the Campus Campaigns WG files  Need more volunteers to help write biographies!* *Only 1-2 pages long! Drug Bios Progress
