The impact of the NIH Intramural Research Program is truly global. The stars on the map represent locations where a commercial entity has completed a license with the NIH Office of Technology Transfer for an NIH intramural invention. These licenses allow for the transfer of inventions and discoveries from the NIH Intramural Research Program to biotechnology companies for commercial development or use in research.

The licenses on this map can be filtered by country of licensee, NIH Institute, and fiscal years that the license has been active. Densely populated areas are represented in clusters rather than stars. To view these areas, please zoom further into the map.
