Opportunity for the Innovator Community Expansion Initiative
ICEI seeks to grow and diversify the innovator community. Programming focuses on building the innovator pipeline and providing our diverse and distinguished faculty the resources (educational programs and development opportunities) they need to succeed.
Educational Programs and Resources
Commercialization & Inclusive Leadership Program
A structured one-day program on commercialization application and inclusive leadership for new and potential innovators. This supports ICEI’s goal of growing the innovator community and providing tools and resources to drive excellence in commercial outcomes
Participants: New or early innovators who have not executed a license while at Mass General Brigham. Focus on women, individuals who are underrepresented in medicine (URM), clinicians and emerging innovators
Pilot Objectives:
- Provide understanding of organizational resources and networks to foster commercialization at MGB
- Develop and foster self-awareness, influencing and entrepreneurial skills
- Support participants to see themselves as innovators who can lead in a complex environment
- Encourage participants to not just develop opportunities for themselves, but to influence others at MGB
Applications for our upcoming cohort (March 2023) are rolling.
