Novel Clinical and Translational Methods, Technologies and Resources Sample Clauses

Novel Clinical and Translational Methods, Technologies and Resources. In this Component, we advance novel technologies and translational science, linking studies with commercial potential to technology transfer resources. We manage and disseminate information about research resources, identifying need for new cores as demands emerge. To date, we have developed/reviewed business plans for all of our cores and made sure that each had a system for tracking utilization and cost efficiency. We created the institution’s core and shared resources policy that includes assuring access to external users. We completely reorganized the University’s innovation team, technology advancement infrastructure, and procedures for IP assessment and formed our Drug Discovery group that now meets regularly. We successfully implemented CaneSearch day and awarded two Novel Methods Development projects and four ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Innovation projects. Last, we hired a Senior Fellow from “big pharma” to jumpstart networking efforts and provide commercial perspective and participated in extensive interactions with Life Science Technology Park to identify potential corporate partners. Going forward, metrics include:  Participation in and attendee satisfaction with CaneSearch Day (process)  # of junior faculty who begin collaborative projects (process)  Types of core resources and # and profile of users and satisfaction with core resources (process)  # of patents applied for and obtained (process)  # of research studies that include Corporate partnerships (outcome)  # of new Corporate partnerships formed (process)  Ongoing successful operationalization of SOPs for use of core resources throughout UM (outcome)  Successful CaneSearch Day (outcome)  Increase in the # of CT collaborative projects (outcome)  Increase in successful linkages of faculty with corporate/business partners (outcome)
