MCG is creating copyright and technology transfer initiatives to increase intellectual property and patent activity (Technology Transfer and Economic Development). MCG provides research opportunities for undergraduate students, has a wide array of masters and doctoral programs, and has a well-staffed International and Postdoctoral Services Office.

MCG's Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development is a full-service technology transfer office that handles Material Transfer Agreements, Invention Disclosures, Patents, and Licenses. They also manage a new bio-business incubator (the "Life Sciences Business Development Center") in the Interdisciplinary Research Building, with wetlab space, equipment, offices, and mentors available for entrepreneurs.

The Institutional Faculty List Online cites faculty members' research interests and provides a direct link to PubMed for easy access to publications of our faculty. Information can also be found on core facilities and services, details about MCG research institutes and centers, research-related policies, funding opportunities for extramural and intramural grants, and other research support.

The Office of Human Research Protection is responsible for protecting human subjects that participate in clinical research.  Education and training related to human subject protection and auditing of IRB reviewed studies are part of their responsibilities.  They also manage the institutional review boards (IRBs):  Human Assurance Committee and Chesapeake Research Review, Inc.

The Office of Clinical Investigative Services is the initial point of contact for corporate sponsored research at the Medical College of Georgia and MCG Health Systems. The Office assists physicians, faculty and staff pursue clinical investigation, improve the overall quality of research, and facilitate new clinical investigation at MCG and MCG Health Systems.

The Division of Sponsored Program Administration serves as the principal interface between the Medical College of Georgia and external sponsors, providing assistance to faculty in identification of funding, submission of proposals, and award management.
