Conducting Research at CHOP, June 5 - "Bringing Genomics into Medicine: Advancing the Policy Agenda"
Speaker: Laura Lyman Rodriguez, Ph.D.
Director, Division of Policy, Communications, and Education
National Human Genome Research Institute
National Institute of Health
Date: Wednesday, June 5, 2013
Time: 10:00am-11:30am
Location: CTRB 1100B, first floor

The excitement and rationale for pursuing the Human Genome Project always included the promise of new insights into promoting health and combating disease. However, that promise must now be realized in the context of myriad health systems and their governing policy frameworks. If we are to achieve the full potential of genomic science within clinic care, all stakeholders (researchers, providers, payers, patients, etc.) will need to come together to address the challenges and the opportunities before us. This talk will explore several policy areas important to the realization of this potential. All are welcome to attend!
The Office of Responsible Research Training's Conducting Research at CHOP seminar series is designed to educate the CHOP workforce on key topics related to the implementation and management of sponsored research.

Internal RCR Web Site June Feature: Intellectual Property and the America Invents Act (AIA) Good intellectual property policy and practice are the bridge that links scientific discoveries to the marketplace. The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) works with researchers to protect intellectual property including patents, copyrights, and/or trademarks created as a result of CHOP's research enterprise. This month the RCR internal Web site at http://rcr.research.chop.edu will feature the America Invents Act: What Researchers Need to Know About the New Patent Rules. The RCR internal Web site provides centralized education, policy and training resources that encourage best practices and promote scientific integrity as a core value.
