Beginning with four of the strategic alliance opportunities identified in the Road
Map report, Mass Insight convened industry-led project work groups representing
institutions across the public and private sectors to explore large-scale projects
where multi-institutional, cross-sector collaboration could create value that no
single institution or sector could on its own. Mass Insight is facilitating and
organizing the campaign to raise additional funds for two large-scale R&D collaborative
projects:
The CIBC addresses the significant opportunity to accelerate the development of
new therapeutics for the treatment of human disease by leveraging the collective
R&D capability represented in the region's life science industry, universities,
academic medical centers and hospitals. The project would advance the use of imaging
biomarkers for early evidence of therapeutic efficacy before taking candidates into
clinical testing as well for use as surrogate endpoints for regulatory approval.

This project brings together Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, UMass, MIT and
industry. The goal is to establish a $100 million+ center in southeastern Massachusetts
to compete for the northeast NSF ORION ocean observation project and make Massachusetts
a national center for fisheries, weather, climate and ocean management research.
