Are you interested in learning about how to license from or collaborate with the NIH? Since the 1970s, the Intramural Research Program (IRP) has served as the in-house research and clinical arm of the NIH. Despite our success, many potential industry collaborators and licensees still see NIH solely as a basic research center funding academic research and publishing academic papers. If you want to learn what sets the NIH apart as premier technology transfer partner and learn how to partner with us, stop by booth #1603 within the Federal Laboratory Consortium’s pavilion at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s 2026 International Convention.

Many of NIH’s technology transfer experts, including the Director of the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT), Tara Kirby, the Deputy Director of OTT, Sabarni Chatterjee, OTT Special Advisor, Steve Ferguson, the Unit Supervisor of the Technology Analysis and Marketing Unit  of the National Cancer Institute’s Technology Transfer Center, Michael Salgaller, and Senior Technology Analysis and Marketing Specialist Joseph Conrad will be at our booth and taking partnering meetings. You can schedule partnering meetings with NIH Tech Transfer through BIO’s partnering portal.
