How to put the “Translational” into your research<br />
Chair: Anna Amar, NIDDK<br />
The times – they are a changing. Have you noticed <strong>NIH</strong>’s new logo: “<strong>NIH</strong>... Turning<br />
Discovery into Health”? There’s now an institute that focuses on translational research<br />
(NCATS). A recent Presidential Memo mandates that <strong>NIH</strong> accelerate the pace at which<br />
scientific breakthroughs are transferred from the lab to the commercial marketplace. This<br />
talk is applicable to everyone involved with discovery, from fellow to PI, at every IC. Hear<br />
scientists and others from across <strong>NIH</strong> talk about how/when to:<br />
• Contact someone if you feel you have an innovation, and who<br />
• Protect and promote an invention<br />
• Consider patenting before publishing<br />
• Tap into your technology transfer office to help you translate a discovery<br />
to the market<br />
• Collaborate with/obtain materials from industry<br />
• Find enabling resources<br />
• Generate data to make your technology more attractive to a company<br />
Learn how to turn your discovery into health.<br />
