This program focuses on helping the new UCSF Catalyst Award projects to create their ‘Target Product Profile’ (TPP) to help guide projects along its translational path. The Program will also be holding 'workshops' where all the participants together will learn about some of the key underlying aspects of the TPP (i.e. intellectual property and business law, commercialization issues, competitive landscapes, regulatory paths, and innovation & entrepreneurship.)

Interns will participate in the presentations of the TPPs to the Catalyst Program industry advisors at the end of the summer.

The file link on the left is the list of the newly awarded Catalyst Projects, which are the teams that the interns will join for the summer. We’ve been fortunate to have had ~80 interns per summer for last few years and really makes for a collaborative environment, as each project has 4-6 interns on it.

The internship is very flexible time-wise. A 30-40-hour commitment across the 10 weeks of the program is the norm, and so is compatible with the trainees taking courses, having jobs, or taking vacation, or even other internships!

For questions, reach out to Charles P. Hart, PhD (charles.hart@ucsf.edu), Executive Director, UCSF Catalyst Program
