For New Projects and Product Development:

Fairway Medical Technologies can assist you with all phases of your product development. Upon your initial contact with Fairway, we will follow this general process to help you determine how Fairway’s team might provide the expertise that your project needs.

1. Complete and submit the Preliminary Consulting Form online or email us at contact@fairwaymed.com to initiate a brief meeting at Fairway to discuss what you would like to do: Develop a new product, modify an existing one, conduct Research and Development including the submission of Grants for joint collaboration, make FDA submissions, perform clinical testing, or develop a basic business plan.

2. If you are affiliated with an institution or organization that may own the intellectual property rights to your invention, we will ask that you contact your Office of Technology Transfer to ensure that you have followed your institution’s protocol for discussing new technologies with an outside entity. You will be asked to acknowledge a notification of this responsibility by signing a form. It is highly advised that you complete this form even before making the first contact with Fairway so that there will be no chance of breaching your contractual responsibilities regarding proprietary information disclosure.

3. We will then arrange for a meeting at our main offices to review your project. Please contact your Office of Technology Transfer, where applicable, to advise them of this meeting in advance. We will ask you to not disclose confidential information at this first meeting. We have provided a list of the major Institutions that Fairway has dealt with in the Houston area, along with links to their Technology Transfer websites and their personnel who can assist you.

4. At the initial meeting we will determine if a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will be required by Fairway, and we will review your position with your Office of Technology Transfer at this time as well. Generally, the NDA's provided by recognized Institutions are acceptable for use by Fairway. If you do not represent an Institution, we will consider your own NDA as well as provide Fairway’s NDA to determine which is most suitable.

5. After the initial meeting, we will establish guidelines for a follow up meeting once the appropriate NDA's are executed. This second meeting will enable us to go into the details necessary to create a plan to progress through whichever development phases are applicable. The resulting plan will include timelines and costs with suitable milestones.
