Similar to respondents 1 and 2, respondent 3 would use off campus resources to commercialize her research, and she feels that providing information on how to commercialize, providing financial support, improving commercialization infrastructure, revising university policies, and increasing links to industry would improve commercialization activity at the University of Kentucky.
I will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid.
History has shown repeatedly how the United States has lost an early competitive advantage in developing high‐value technologies to international competition when commercialization infrastructure was not adequately supported.

Respondent 1 believes that risk, lack of investors, commercialization infrastructure, unsupportive university and federal policies, and "other barriers not listed" prohibit his efforts to effectively and efficiently commercialize research.
Issues with commercialization infrastructure; a lack of emphasis, at the university level, on the importance of research commercialization; a void in an entrepreneurial culture on campus; inhibitory commercialization policies; and a lack of business and commercialization knowledge among faculty were highlighted as the most significant barriers.
