The eRMA site was developed in response to <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=6721\">President Obama&#8217;s order<\/a> to agencies last month to speed the process of transferring federal scientific discoveries with commercial potential into the hands of businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ott.nih.gov\/erma\/default.aspx\">eRMA site<\/a> consists of a searchable database of unpatented discoveries from NIH&#8217;s in-house labs, not from research funded by NIH and conducted elsewhere. The new NIH process also includes payments handled by the government-wide payments service, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pay.gov\/paygov\/\">Pay.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unpatented technologies from NIH labs are made available to companies through internal use licenses granted by NIH&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ott.nih.gov\/\">Office of Technology Transfer<\/a> that also created eRMa. An NIH internal use license is a contract that governs the transfer of tangible research materials from NIH to a company for commercial research use. NIH expects to launch a service called the Transfer Agreement Dashboard in December 2011, for non-profit research organizations interested in obtaining NIH materials through a material transfer agreement.<\/p>\n<p>NIH says its technology transfer operation administers some $97 million annually in royalty payments from about 500 companies with total product sales reported at $6 billion per year. That technology transfer office also handles licensing transactions for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencebusiness.technewslit.com\/?p=6721\">U.S. Agencies Directed to Speed Science to Marketplace<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Institutes of Health has launched its electronic Research Materials (eRMa) Web site that aims to make it easier for prospects to locate and license findings from NIH&#8217;s labs for commercialization.
