CHICAGO—A new partnership was recently announced between Wellspring Worldwide Inc. and CTSA-IP, an initiative funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health to enhance public-private partnerships across the consortium of institutions with Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA). The partners will seek to promote collaboration among CTSA members, industry and research institutions. Per the terms of the partnership, members of the CTSA-IP Initiative will be able to post technologies, research projects and collaboration opportunities to Flintbox, Wellspring's Open Innovation Platform, which stands as the largest research collaboration platform with more than 500 participating organizations.  

 

"Increasing exposure of CTSA members' technologies to the broad mix of industry and academic innovators on Flintbox will result in a tremendous growth of technology transfer opportunities," Dr. Matt Hamilton, president of Wellspring, said in a press release.
