The NIH mission to improve the public health through biomedical research is accomplished by conducting research directly, by funding research through grants and contracts, and increasingly by partnering with any of a wide variety of partners. The synergy possible through the leveraging of NIH resources with the strengths of industry, professional societies, patient advocacy organizations, and academic partners allows work that cannot be done by any of the partners alone to be realized. Moreover, partnership can also facilitate increasing efficiency, economy and speed for translation of discovery to the public. The NIH Roadmap Public‐Private Partnership(PPP) Program is the center of such activities and policies, programs and examples of PPPs will be described, as well as ways that AAPM might take advantage of partnership opportunities. Educational Objectives: 1. Understand the NIH position on PPPs. 2. Understand PPP Policies and programs. 3. Learn how new PPPs can be initiated.
