All About MUSC Research
All About MUSC Research: are you and your research included? To help our Industry Partners, we have created a 1-page executive summary to describe each of the main research focus areas within the Medical University. These 1-page summaries are available for viewing and download at http://frd.musc.edu/highlights-of-musc.html and allow interested parties to see "what's happening" at MUSC in the research field.

Tell FRD What Research You Are Doing
What kind of research are you doing? We often receive calls from industry representatives that request to look through our portfolio of technologies for intellectual property that is available for licensing. When we speak with the representative, we attempt to contact researchers in the field to meet with these industries.

“When do I Send in my Record of Invention (ROI) Form?”
“When do I Send in my Record of Invention (ROI) Form?” There are a number of criteria that we look for when suggesting that a researcher complete and send in the ROI form, however in general, we are looking for a novel idea that has some kind of proof-of-concept.

"What's the Timeframe on Submitting an ROI?"
"Once I send in my Record of Invention (ROI) form, how long does it take until I will receive an answer?" When we receive your ROI, we immediately begin our analysis for patentability and commercialization. While we shoot to complete the evaluation in 4-6 weeks, there are a number of factors that sometimes lead to a longer time period.
