Mayo Innovation Scholars Program
About the program
The Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (MISP) aims to:
- Assist the Mayo Office of Intellectual Property in the assessment of new product submissions by Mayo researchers
- Provide research opportunities for undergraduate science and business students
- Provide leadership development and research opportunities for MBA and MAOL students
Formerly the Mayo Scholars Program, MISP was designed in 2006 by retired Medtronic executive, John Meslow. Together with the Mayo Clinic Office of Intellectual Property and the Minnesota Private College Council, Meslow created a unique program to place students from a variety of disciplines at the interface of innovations in science and medicine and the fields of intellectual property, marketing and business development.
MISP offers an opportunity for selected graduate students and undergraduate science and business students to research projects submitted by Mayo Clinic professionals through the Mayo Clinic Office of Intellectual Property. Now in its fourth year, MISP continues to be an innovative model for student experiential learning.
