We view the new office of having the following purpose: VISION: Establish the Medical College of Georgia as a leader in the movement of discoveries, data, and technologies out of the research laboratory and into the commercial sector. GOAL: Transform inventions into protected intellectual property that can become new products and services destined to improve health care and the quality of life for people of the state and for society in general, while fostering teaching, research and service at MCG. The Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development (OTTED) is a resource for the inventive faculty, staff and students who choose to participate in the system. It also satisfies the obligation that the institution has as being a recipient of federal funding in light of the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. The MCG Technology Transfer and Economic Development Office works closely with the MCG Office of Grants and Contracts, the Medical College of Georgia Research Institute, and the Georgia Medical Center Authority because of our mutual interests. MCG personnel should consider this office as their resource for matters involving inventions and intellectual property. In a similar fashion, corporations and members of the business community should consider us as an easily identifiable entry point for accessing the talent and resources of the Medical College of Georgia.
