Two of the deadliest outbreaks were recorded in 2011. The negative impact on global health as well as the agriculture industry can be devastating. With support from OCAST, OSU researcher Jacqueline Fletcher has made several scientific advances toward finding solutions by investigating how Salmonella can contaminate and grow on cantaloupe — these advances could ultimately save lives.

Providing Energy Solutions Oil and natural gas are big business in Oklahoma. OCAST funding has helped Impact Technologies LLC design, test and commercialize more than 20 new products and technologies in advanced drilling and oil recovery systems. The innovative products are safer for the environment and help the industry lower cost and recover more oil and gas. Fighting Hospital Infections During a recent five year period when the incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections in the U.S. nearly doubled, only three novel antibiotic drugs received FDA approval. Of these, none were effective against one of the most common pathogens in hospital-acquired pneumonia. Between the surge in drug resistance and lack of new antibiotics to treat these infections, the public faces an increasing threat. With the support of OCAST, Biolytx is developing a novel class of antibiotic drugs to fight these dangerous pathogens. Oklahoma Unmanned Aerial Systems Infrastructure Map According to the Teal Group, the global unmanned aerial systems (UAS) market is predicted to be a $94 billion industry over the next decade, and the rapid progress for Oklahoma’s UAS sector is attracting international interest. The applications for UAS are broad. The remotely piloted aircraft can carry cameras, sensors, communications equipment or other items and are most widely known for uses in military operations. The OSU University Multispectral Laboratories operates one of the only UAS airfields in the U.S. where no FAA Certificate of Authorization is required — the result of an agreement between the University Multispectral Laboratories and the Fort Sill Army post in Lawton. This gives Oklahoma a competitive edge in the industry and is one of the reasons Oklahoma is attracting attention from all over the globe. Oklahoma is also involved in the development of UAS, especially the new field of small UAS called micro air vehicles (or MAVs). One example is Norman-based Design Intelligence Incorporated LLC who in 2007 won an SBIR Phase I award for $100,000 from the Air Force Research Laboratory allowing the company to begin development of energy harvesting and power management technology for MAV applications to enable extended mission duration and range. The Phase I award led to a follow-on Phase II award from the Air Force and then additional UAS and MAV related SBIR projects including projects for MAV development. “The stakes were high for a Phase II award and the gap of time in funding, about four months in our case, can be a killer for small start ups — you literally run out of cash and you want to retain your best employees and capabilities,” said James Grimsley, president and CEO of Design Intelligence Incorporated LLC and president of the Unmanned Systems Alliance of Oklahoma. “There is so much to prepare, and you have to hire highly-qualified people and get them on board. OCAST gave us bridge funding to help with the transition. Without that support from OCAST, our transition to the Phase II would not have been as successful.” 1. OCAST — OCAST provides early-stage funding that enables Oklahomans to develop their ideas so national foundations, private investors and federal agencies take notice — offering the potential for millions of dollars to move their ideas to the marketplace. 2. Federal Grants — Oklahoma companies use OCAST funds to help them apply for larger federal grants from organizations such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Existing facility or Program Facility Planned or Under Construction 3. Private Investment — OCAST funds attract investment from private sources. 4. New Products — Small businesses and researchers across the state are inventing new products and services. 5. Increased Sales — New products and services created by Oklahoma companies lead to higher tax revenue when sold. 6. New Businesses — The new products and processes created by Oklahomans often lead to the creation of new small businesses. 7. New or Retained Jobs — Both existing businesses and new businesses create new jobs. These jobs pay salaries on average more than $25,000 higher than Oklahoma’s per capita income. 8. Improved Efficiencies and Processes — Programs such as the Manufacturing Innovation Fund enable Oklahoma manufacturers to be more efficient and inject innovation into their operations. One hundred percent of the monies paid back to OCAST from these programs are used for additional awards. 9. Increased Productivity — Oklahomans are creating new products and processes that improve productivity of businesses that support Oklahoma’s economy. 10. Royalties and Licenses — Oklahoma businesses are able to collect royalties and sell licenses for use of the products and services they create in our state. All of these pieces work together to allow Oklahoma companies to bring new jobs, products, tax revenue and a better quality of life to our state. 20:1 ROIFor every $1 invested by the state in OCAST, $20.39 is returned to Oklahoma’s Economy in various forms BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mark Ashton, Lawton Galynn Beer, Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers, Guymon Don Betz, University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond David Boren, University of Oklahoma, Norman V.
