The NIH Office of Science Policy has published a summary of proceedings from its workshop on Transforming Discoveries into Products: Maximizing NIH’s Levers to Catalyze Technology Transfer. This workshop focused on how NIH approaches patenting and licensing inventions from its intramural research program. Throughout the workshop, panelists, presenters, and the public explored how NIH decides what to patent and license, who NIH partners with, and how NIH negotiates those agreements.

The summary of the workshop, along with the webcast of the meeting and other associated meeting materials, can be found on the workshop website.
