Technology Transfer: From Bench to Bedside
HJF's technology transfer staff facilitates collaboration between scientists and private industry on research and development projects, with the goal of making innovative medical technologies available for clinical use. The USU-HJF Joint Office of Technology Transfer (JOTT) was created to advance inventions by Foundation and University researchers
HJF, in coordination with the USU General Counsel, pioneered the development of a multi-project CRADA for companies wishing to work with University researchers across several projects. Under the arrangement, business and legal issues are negotiated once, then individual projects are added to the agreement as appendices. Multi-project CRADAs facilitate research by streamlining otherwise lengthy negotiation and approval processes.
