LCSR Partnerships Program

The LCSR Partnerships Program seeks to create long-term, strategic relationships with partners that would strengthen both the LCSR’s and the partner’s research programs. This program facilitates technology transfer from the academic setting to practice in the commercial space. The financial support from partners, in the form of partnership fees and sponsored research, leads to targeted research programs and enhances the educational experience of undergraduate and graduate students. Partners benefit from access to leading edge research in LCSR and through the network of researchers and clinicians established by LCSR. In addition to finding opportunities to develop new research initiatives, partners have a dedicated Point of Contact (POC) within the LCSR. The POC facilitates access to high caliber students and LCSR faculty, and assists in LCSR Intellectual Property searches, Non-Disclosure Agreements and interactions with The Johns Hopkins University’s administrative and technology transfer personnel. Partners benefit from members-only technology briefings. Partners are also entitled to early enrollment in specialized training courses organized by LCSR. Periodic newsletters keep Partners up-to-date on the latest news in LCSR.
