AY Awarded Cost by Source CWRU Department of Medicine

Basic Tenets For industry, time is $$ Patients are currency

Types of Research They come to us We go to them Preclinical Clinical Early phase Late phase

Discussion Points What types of research can industry support? What are the pros and cons of industry- vs. other types of support? What challenges are present at the national level regarding industry support of research? What challenges are present at the local level (department, hospital, SOM, University) regarding industry support of research? How can we increase investigator-initiated clinical research? How can we address the local challenges? What is needed?

Challenges External – Regulatory complexity – Decreased availability of funds for IITs – Incomplete funding of IITs Local – Institution not viewed as “go-to” place for industry – Institutional risk aversion – Timelines: budgets – contracts – activation – Lack of investigator awareness of opportunities

Solutions: Investigator-Level Market our strengths: e.g. patients, infrastructure, efficiency, specialized knowledge Create unique areas of excellence, capabilities (e.g. health services), resources (e.g. administrative databases) Expand health services/CER/behavioral science Become aware of opportunities (also institutional solution) – Increase lab investigators interactions with MDs who can identify/facilitate contacts Recognize preclinical opportunities, e.g. mechanistic studies of marketed agents Pitch ideas at all opportunities

Solutions: Institutional level Themes: – Function more like business – Service orientation Current lack of awareness of CCRT structure/function/resource – educate faculty – be proactive Improve efficiency (e.g. Budgets, contracts, IRB) – Establish accountability for timelines Be cost-competitive (e.g. indirects, clinical tests, research cores) Expand core support (e.g. stats); run like businesses Need medical/scientific leadership/oversight of infrastructure: evolve point of view towards service of research Cost-sharing of academia/industry partnerships – must define ROI Recognize value of research to national reputation – attracts patients and funding Develop long-term as well as short-term view vis a vis ROI
