Date: Wednesday, April 30, 1PM-2PM ET
Join us for a session on building “win-win” partnerships with the U.S. Government to accelerate R&D and bring medical products to market—with less risk. You’ll learn how to leverage non-dilutive funding, select the right legal instruments, and protect your IP and regulatory rights when working with agencies like the Department of Defense, BARDA, and NIH.
This session is based on practical experience negotiating with nearly every federal agency involved in medical R&D. We’ll break down the legal vehicles—like OTA agreements, CRADAs, and BAAs—and highlight strategic considerations for startups and established firms alike. Learn how the right legal foundation can support innovation, streamline FDA pathways, and open doors to lasting federal partnerships.
