Overview
The Fogarty Institute for Innovation is an educational non-profit dedicated to mentoring, training and inspiring the next generation of medical innovators. Through our programs, physicians, engineers and other collaborators can learn to successfully integrate their respective disciplines to develop viable ideas aimed at improving patient care. We offer four distinct programs, each with a different level and type of support for medical technology innovators.Innovation/Cultivation: An onsite program which provides hand-picked applicants with the environment and resources to nurture innovative ideas to fruition
Clinical Research/Validation: An adjunct program run through our Taft Center for Clinical Research that supports clinical trials by providing efficient, high quality management services to investigators, and provides members of the community the opportunity to participate in trials for innovative, cutting-edge treatment options.
Outreach/Education: Developing program aimed at sharing our successful experience with the broader community through workshops, seminars, etc. In addition to the onsite mentorship provided under our "Innovation: Cultivation" program, the Fogarty Institute is also planning to conduct external educational activities designed to educate and share experiences with a broader audience (public, industry, entrepreneurs and physicians).
Educational activities will include medical fellowships, and events such as workshops, symposia, and roundtable discussions that will cover important topics in the area of medical innovation.
