Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) does far more than fund grants and contracts. NIH can add tremendous value to private and public sector research and development efforts through access to its resources, including 1) the Public-Private Partnership Program; 2) Synapse and Catapult (text mining and visualization tools); and 3) an ever-expanding menu of publicly available, free R&D resources.
Objectives:
Inform attendees about NIH's new public-private partnership program set up to facilitate access to new technologies and research resources.
Introduce attendees to the recently developed NIH text mining and analysis tools and services.
Make attendees better aware of the many and diverse free scientific resources available to the public through the NIH.
