JHTV Open House: Funding Translational Research

Description

Join fellow researchers for an informational presentation by Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures (JHTV) staff followed by a casual networking reception. The session will provide Johns Hopkins researchers with an overview of basic concepts in university commercialization and sources (and tips) for funding your project.

Discussion Topics:

• Commercialization and its importance to Johns Hopkins and beyond
• Identifying if an invention is worth "reporting"
• Securing intellectual property protection and licensing technology
• Funding sources (Johns Hopkins translational grants, venture capital and corporate sponsorship)
• University-provided support
• How to get started and where to learn more

We encourage you to stay for the reception to meet the JHTV team and network with fellow inventors. Beer and snacks will be served.

This presentation is recommended for junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students who are solving scientific problems in the lab that can improve the world.
