Patents and Technology Transfer
The Medical College of Georgia has a new office dedicated to
protecting and commercializing intellectual property.
The Office of Biomedical Technology Transfer will analyze inventions
arising from the creative efforts of the faculty and will secure protection
for them in the form of patents and copyrights. It will market the
technologies and secure an income stream from any option or license
agreement. Inventors receive 35% of the intellectual property income, with
the remainder reserved for institutional benefit. In
addition, a license agreement often contains a research grant to support
further studies in the lab of the inventor. Full details and administrative
forms are available on their website at
www.mcg.edu/research/techtransfer. Any faculty or staff members with
questions or comments about the MCG intellectual property program are
encouraged to contact the director, Dr. Michael Gabridge, at 1-9822 (mgabridge@mail.mcg.edu).
Health Research Associates
Through funding provided by the Medical College of Georgia Research
Institute and the School of Medicine, consultants from Health Research
Associates based in Bethesda, Maryland, have been engaged to assist faculty
with grant proposal preparation and revisions. Assistance is provided in
preparation of the specific aims, significance, and other sections of the
grant application, as well as with responding to the critique from an
initial review. HRA consultants visit MCG once or twice yearly to meet
individually with faculty and to present granstmanship seminars, and they
welcome FAX, telephone, and e-mail communication. Contact Betty Aldridge,
baldridg@mail.mcg.edu,
