Description

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is hosting its first Medical Devices Technology Innovation Partnership (MD-TIP) Project effort via a one day workshop. This effort is being co-sponsored by The University of Virginia (UVA). Other universities involved in planning the event and developing the concepts for this effort have been: Howard University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland at College Park, University of Maryland, Baltimore and the University of Pennsylvania.

The health care challenges of the 21st century require innovative solutions through collaboration between Federal agencies and academia. This workshop will encourage increased collaboration between FDA and academia in the area of innovative medical device discovery and development. Participants will learn key, practical information on FDA and CDRH initiatives such as the Critical Path Initiative, Public Private Partnerships, fellowship opportunities, technology transfer, inventions and other topics. Special breakout sessions will provide in depth information on topics such as: FDA regulatory processes, technological innovations in spinal diseases, home healthcare and the artificial pancreas. The conference will conclude with a general session entitled: “Real World Examples and Experiences.” The meeting is a pilot effort targeting universities in the Mid-Atlantic region. This event will brings together experts involved in medical device regulation, scientific research and exploration and technology transfer processes and strategies in order to learn and share information regarding opportunities, obstacles, best practices and challenges. Representatives from the federal government and academia will be attending and presenting at this interactive meeting.
