	ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
	
	The focal point for U.S. government investment in innovative
healthcare research and development has been the National Institutes of
Health (NIH).  The intramural research program itself at the NIH has led
to a huge variety of novel basic and clinical research discoveries - all
of which require commercial partners in order to develop them into
products for hospital, physician or patient use.  With over half of new
NIH license agreements granted to small firms and over 600 products
(including 24 FDA-approved drugs and vaccines) launched by NIH
licensees, working with the NIH cannot be overlooked as part of any
long-term growth strategy for biomedical firms.
	
	 
	
	The NIH Office of Technology Transfer evaluates, protects,
markets, licenses, monitors, and manages the wide range of NIH and FDA
discoveries, inventions, and other intellectual property as mandated by
the Federal Technology Transfer Act and related legislation.
	
	The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation's medical
research agency-making important medical discoveries that improve health
and save lives.
	
	 
	COST: Free, but registration required by clicking on the link
above. We thank the NIH for their financial sponsorship of this month's
webinar allowing it to continue to be free to attendees.
