SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONSORTIUM FOR TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION IN PEDIATRICS

描述(由申请人提供)： 南加州技术与创新中心联盟(CTIP Consortium-www.scctip.com)是一家总部设在加州大学洛杉矶分校和南加州大学的儿科医疗器械联合体，旨在促进儿科医疗器械的商业化和临床应用。CTIP联盟通过协调CHLA和USC以及南加州社区现有翻译和商业化框架内的资源，促进儿科医疗器械的开发，使其能够转让给商业合作伙伴并推向市场。该联盟的目标是：1)在南加州的南加州大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校和其他学术医疗中心，以及在商业和投资界，建立一个多学科利益相关者网络，以确定和促进有前途的儿科医疗器械项目；2)提高对新型儿科医疗器械开发必要性的认识；3)克服目前商业化的障碍，特别注重建立学术界在缓解这些障碍方面的作用，包括通过 学生的参与；以及4)制定和实施战略，以维持以生产需求为导向的新型儿科医疗设备的管道。 CTIP联盟是由来自南加州大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校的学校、系、项目、研究所和中心的教师和行政领导联合成立的，这些中心专注于商业化、转化和临床研究、儿科护理和工程。这些人组成了CTIP的指导委员会，为CTIP提供指导，并获得商业、财务、监管、报销、工程、科学、临床、知识产权和学生资源。CTIP联盟将这些CHLA/USC利益相关者与整个南加州地区的商业、投资、高等教育和慈善社区联系起来，以便为CTIP调查人员提供儿科医疗器械开发服务。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Southern California Center for Technology and Innovation Consortium (CTIP Consortium -www.scctip.com) is a pediatric medical device consortium based at CHLA and USC that promotes commercialization and clinical use of pediatric medical devices. The CTIP Consortium facilitates the development of pediatric medical devices by coordinating resources within the existing translational and commercialization framework of CHLA and USC and the Southern California community to a stage where they can be transferred to a commercial partner and brought to market. The Consortium's goals are: 1) to assemble a network of multi-disciplinary stakeholders at USC, CHLA, and other academic medical centers in Southern California, as well as within the business and investment communities, to identify and foster promising pediatric medical device projects; 2) to increase awareness around the need for novel pediatric medical device development; 3) to overcome current barriers to commercialization with a particular focus on establishing academia's role in alleviating these barriers, including through the engagement of students; and 4) to develop and implement strategies that will sustain a productive needs-driven pipeline of new pediatric medical devices. The CTIP Consortium was established by uniting faculty and administrative leaders from schools, departments, programs, institutes, and centers at USC and CHLA that are focused on commercialization, translational and clinical research, pediatric care, and engineering. These individuals constitute CTIP's steering committee and provide CTIP with guidance as well as access to business, financial, regulatory, reimbursement, engineering, scientific, clinical, intellectual property, and student resources. The CTIP Consortium networks these CHLA/USC stakeholders with the business, investment, higher education, and philanthropic communities in the entire Southern California region in order to provide CTIP investigators with pediatric medical device development services.
