Abstract:
|
The Harvard/Schering-Plough Partnership provides a mechanism for capitalizing on the complementary nature of the roles of industry and academia in research related to pharmaceutical product development. The need to accurately assess the health effects of new and existing therapies represents a broad area of overlap between the pharmaceutical industry and the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health. The partnership facilitates the exploration of mutual research interests and the generation of new research projects which affect the practice of quantitative methods in the industry. The centerpiece of the partnership is the annual Harvard/Schering-Plough Workshop. This workshop has emerged as a premier conference for clinical sciences in the pharmaceutical industry, attracting participants from industry, government, and academic institutions to discuss timely and emerging issues in drug development and evaluation. Structured activities, such as visits between the two institutions and the funding of junior faculty to support relevant methodological research, provide a framework that allows Schering-Plough and Harvard to benefit from each other's resources.
