Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS), formerly the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, is a national leader in serving the local community and the region in all aspects of our missions of clinical care, research, education and public service. WFUHS has a history of cooperation with industry in the support of these missions. Diverse cooperative efforts with industry sponsors are encouraged because they produce mutual benefits to industry and Wake Forest as well as benefits to society. Industry research support contributes to the education of physicians and medical students, and also to the development of new technologies that can be put to practical use by society.

Industry sponsored research projects must maintain a balance between the university's pursuit of research as an integral part of the academic process and industry's search for useful knowledge to be applied toward the development of products, processes and services. At the same time, WFUHS recognizes the need to avoid arrangements that might compromise, or seem to compromise, its policies, intellectual principles, purposes and the freedom of inquiry which is essential for the discovery and dissemination of knowledge and understanding, and the advancement of truth.
