Sandy Gough and co-inventor Professor Uwe Reischl of the COHS have received a provisional patent (patent ending) on their discovery – A Pandemic Business-Continuity Management Tool.  Boise State University authorized the filing after a committee of engineering and science faculty approved the process as novel, valuable and research-based.  The collaboration between Gough and Reischl began with a small grant funded by Homeland Security.
