Abstract: The current study is designed to assess the needs and attitudes of external customers (i.e., industrial biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device executives) who are current and potential collaborators and licensees for NIH technologies and who have a strategic view of their needs with respect to research collaborations. The needs of for-profit companies and not-for-profit organizations that conduct research and development in biomedical applications (TTC external customers) have never been assessed systematically. Input from these groups is essential for defining workflow process improvements for services provided by the NCI TTC to the research community. The purpose of this study is to: obtain information on the satisfaction of TTC's external customers with TTC customer services; collect information of preferred and expected communications channels of TTC's external customers; and assess the strategic direction of companies engaging in collaborations and alliances with the NIH. The results will be used to strengthen the operations of the NCI TTC, including the Competitive Service Center. Specifically, new data on customer needs will be used to assess progress relative to existing process goals, revise them as necessary, and establish new goals and priorities for meeting customer needs.
