​It's been one year since the passage of the IRA. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has moved forward implementing the law's various provisions, including the new Medicare negotiation program and the redesign of the Medicare Part D benefit. Learn the latest developments from our panel of experts, including how the IRA is impacting biopharmaceutical companies today. Panelists delve into other important issues beyond the IRA, including new developments in Medicaid, 340B, and the emergence of Prescription Drug Affordability Boards in a number of states.  

Following reauthorization by Congress of the SBIR/STTR Programs in 2022, there are new rules companies should familiarize themselves with concerning required disclosures of foreign affiliations or relationships with foreign countries. In addition to mandating disclosures prior to receiving SBIR awards, companies must also regularly update NIH following any changes to a disclosure. View this webinar organized by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) for a comprehensive discussion on how to effectively navigate these new rules as you apply for SBIR awards.

This webinar is co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Seed Office.

With the majority of biological studies conducted in academic settings but nearly all innovative new drug clinical trials sponsored by industry, improving translational research success rates for commercialization is critical to bringing new treatments to patients. Surveys of academic tech transfer offices and the biopharma industry executives working on such alliances cite as obstacles two highly controllable factors: disagreement about alliance performance metrics and misalignment of deal terms priorities. This panel discusses best practices for removing such obstacles to accelerate more promising ideas into clinical development for patients.

BIO's updated 2023 report, "U.S. Biotechnology Translational Research: Partnership Models, Management Principles, and Best Practices," is available for download at the link below.  The webinar also summarizes major findings from that BIO report as context for the panel discussion and audience Q&A.
