Mark Long was the third President and CEO of the Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation, or IURTC, the non-profit arm of Indiana University which handles technology transfer, incubation, and formerly handled Licensing & Trademarks, Corporate Development and the Industrial Research Liaison Program (IRLP). Long came to IURTC in February of 2002 from Washington University in St. Louis, where he was Director of Technology Operations in the Center of Technology Management. He left IURTC in March of 2008.

During Long's tenure as President and CEO of IURTC, the organization accomplished several key goals. The first goal was the formation of the Indiana University Emerging Technologies Center (IUETC), a biotechnology/business incubator in Indianapolis. The second goal was the creation of the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute (MPRI), a cancer-treatment facility in Bloomington located at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. Also, under Long, IURTC reached record goals in receiving new invention disclosures (a high of 257 in 2007) and filing new patents (a high of 109 in 2007). Long's Technology Transfer department group more than tripled the revenue received for inventions in prior years. In addition, the Licensing and Trademarks department, under Long, achieved revenue receipts of over $1 million for 5 consecutive years.

The IUETC was nationally-recognized as the fastest-growing incubator in the country in 2003-2004. Long also served as the 1st President of the Indiana Business Incubator Society and the first interim President of the Midwest Proton Radiotherapy Institute.
