Administrative Supplements for Participation in the Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation (C3i) Program (Admin Supp)
http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
The purpose of the administrative supplement is to provide support for NIH-funded investigators to participate in an entrepreneurship training course, the Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation (C3i) Program. The C3i Program is designed to provide medical device innovators with the specialized business frameworks and essential tools for successful translation of biomedical technologies from the lab (concept) to the market (clinic). Through this program, the NIH fosters the development and commercialization of early-stage biomedical technologies by engaging investigators who are interested in better understanding the value of their innovation in addressing an unmet market need. The curriculum and customized mentoring provided by the C3i Program are intended to guide investigators as they assess the commercial viability and potential business opportunity for their innovation. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NIH Scientific/Research staff for more information about the program before applying.

What you need to know on Wall Street today
“Ever heard of Uber or Lyft?”
The man on TV has well-coiffed gray hair and looks directly into the camera. Behind him, there’s a false backdrop of trading screens and skyscrapers. It’s an ad running on CNBC and Fox News for something called YayYo.
“Yes, YayYo,” the man says. The ad isn’t for its ride-hailing app. It’s for an initial public offering.
The man looks familiar, but his pitch is unusual. You could make millions, like the early investors in Uber, he suggests. “Do it now. Before all the shares are gone.”
It turns out YayYo’s founder has an unusual history involving an arms dealer, infomercials, charges of stock-manipulation, and “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.”
On Wall Street, Barclays reshuffled its senior global investment bank management and is seeking to hire between 50 to 100 people to boost the division under new chief Tim Throsby. Wells Fargo is slashing costs by $2 billion. And Goldman Sachs is planning to launch a new “dark pool” for stocks.
A fundamental change is underway in stock market investing, and the spin-off effects are poised to dramatically impact corporate America. We talked to the CEO of a $385 billion investor about President Trump, emerging markets, and problems in active management. And a high-profile newly launched hedge fund has hired a 15-year Deutsche Bank veteran.
This chart shows how America stacks up in trade with everyone in the world. Trade protectionism is a “dead end,” according to one of the most influential Federal Reserve officials.
In tech, Snap reported its first set of earnings on Wednesday. Here are the highlights:
- Snap misses on Q1 earnings, stock craters 20%
- The banks that were in charge of Snap’s IPO love it — even after the company’s disastrous earnings report
- What analysts are saying about Snap’s disastrous first quarter as a public company
- Snap’s first-ever earnings were a big miss — and the tweets are hilarious
- Evan Spiegel lost about $1 billion on Snap’s first earnings report
- Snap’s stock may have more room to fall — to single digits
- Look at the big gap between Snapchat’s revenue per user and Facebook’s
- Jim Cramer calls Snap CEO Evan Spiegel ‘arrogant’ after first-ever earnings call
In other company news, Verizon beat out AT&T in a $3.1 billion bidding war for Straight Path Communications.
Millions of shoppers are abandoning Whole Foods — and it’s not just because of high prices.
Macy’s is tumbling after same-store-sales whiffed. And department stores more broadly are taking a bath after earnings. Adidas is cutting back its golf business, but it’s not selling Reebok.
Lastly, a startup that wants to build an early-warning system for cancer just raised $360 million.

A startup using online tools to manage all its activities such as CRM, HR, Accounting, Invoicing etc..
What all tools would you recommend to manage a startup completely online? Is there any startup that is already having such a system setup in place?
The tools can be paid/subscription/free or self-hosted. Would this be an efficient setup including cost wise? Any input or thoughts are appreciated.

Revisiting the Trump Trade: Zacks Industry Rank Analysis
Introduction
The 16-company strong Major Regional Bank industry stands out in Zacks Industry Ranks — these late spring days. The niche ranked #47 out of 265 Zacks industries this week. That rank was #35 last week. For the final spring week of April, I count 6 upside analyst earnings revisions and just 2 downside revisions.
What have Regional Bank share prices done — recently? To answer succinctly, study the group’s top Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) trading performance.
The iShares U.S. Regional Bank ETF (IAT) shot up from $36 a share –at the time of the U.S. Presidential Election– to $46 by the end of 2016. The ETF then hit a spiky high of $49 a share on March 1st. Now, shares trade at $45.
That’s a ‘Tell’ — Regional Banks are an outstanding example of a ‘Trump Trade.’
What does that mean? It meant that last November, covering analysts thought the new business-friendly President would provide broad tangible earnings upside across this group of companies. Given the spurt-up in share prices, traders drank that policy-driven Koolaid too.
For this banking niche, Trump Trade tangible benefits took two forms. One was a lower corporate tax rate, enhancing profit margins. The second was less Dodd-Frank regulation, cutting costs.
In late April, after a March Fed rate hike enhanced bank interest margins, Zacks still ranks this top Regional Bank ETF a #1 Rank (STRONG BUY). The ETF dividend yield rests at 1.46%. With respect to specific ETF share holdings we care about for this piece, PNC is a high 11.2% ETF weight. Comerica is 2.35% weight. Northern Trust is not included.
Finally, realize this — covering analyst’s annual forward earnings estimate revisions drive our Zacks Rank system. In light of that reality, let’s take a very close look into what one leading analyst covering this banking niche had to say.
A Covering Analyst’s View
Matt Olney is a regional banking analyst. He works at the respected banking boutique investment firm Stephens. He made these comments to Barron’s on Jan 10th, 2017–
“For the community and regional banks, we did some work within our coverage and over 80% of those today are trading above their average levels on price-to-tangible book value [TBV]. That’s not to say they are too expensive, it just means we’re at the high end of historical valuations—and I can make a case that we probably belong there.
It can be warranted, but it assumes lots of macro tailwinds that are still coming into focus. So, for example, higher interest rates are great for these community and regional banks, and it feels like at this point, the valuations assume some benefits from that. And as a whole, the bank sector stands to benefit more than most other sectors if there is a move to lower corporate tax rates.
Those two things are probably the biggest drivers. Then within them there are some soft items, call them regulatory expenses. It is tough to understand exactly how much the regulatory issues have affected the banks. There have been higher expenses, and it kind of distracts the executives.
At this point all signs suggest that [reforms] are moving forward and there is going to be some benefit to the banks to a certain degree. I just can’t tell you how much it is going to be, how many more rate moves we’re going to see, or how low corporate taxes are going to be.
But there is risk at this point that those two items don’t come through as positively as we’re hoping. There is risk that the banks have some downside if those two items don’t see results we’re looking for.
So it is time to be more selective. It is time to go and look at some banks that can benefit in this current environment and not just wait around for higher rates and lower corporate tax rates.”
My Thoughts
With the latest pullback in the iShares Regional Bank ETF, one has to ask the question? Are traders becoming more skeptical on the benefits of the Trump Trade? In particular, are they revisiting policy changes that matter to Regional Banks? Are proposed corporate tax cuts getting less tasty? Are proposed Dodd-Frank reform benefits getting downsized?¿¿¿
Tidy answers are not forthcoming. Maybe the latest share price pullback was an overdue profit-taking exercise. The 6 positive analyst estimate revisions in late April — after Trump held a press conference offering a proposed 15% rate on corporate taxes — did generate modest excitement.
Nonetheless, let’s take the advice of Stephens’ regional banking analyst, Mr. Olney. Be more selective with your Regional Bank picks.
3 Top Zacks Rank Picks in Regional Banking–
(1) Comerica (CMA): This is a Zacks #1 Rank (STRONG BUY) stock. Of 10 covering analysts, there have been 10 upside revisions in recent weeks. That speaks for itself. What were the estimate revisions? 2017 annual earnings went from $4.77 30 days ago to $5.06 now (+0.29 cents).
However, the long-term Zacks VGM score is F, with a D in Value and an F in Growth. The Price to Earnings Growth (PEG) ratio is 1.65. The forward P/E is 15.65. Those are OK. The annual dividend is 1.3%. The next earnings report should land on July 18th.
Comerica Inc. is a registered bank holding company. Its operations made up of three lines of business: Business Bank, Individual Bank and Investment Bank.
The Business Bank is comprised of middle market lending, asset-based lending, large corporate banking, treasury management and international financial services. The Individual Bank includes consumer lending, consumer deposit gathering, mortgage loan origination and servicing, small business banking and private banking. The Investment Bank is responsible for the sale of mutual fund and annuity products.
(2) Northern Trust (NTRS): This is a Zacks #2 Rank (BUY) stock. Of 5 covering analysts, there have been 5 upside revisions in recent weeks. That speaks for itself. What were the estimate revisions? 2017 annual earnings went from $5.43 30 days ago to $5.44 now (+0.10 cents).
Again, we have a weak long-term soore, with the long-term Zacks VGM score at D, with a D in Value and a B in Growth. The Price to Earnings Growth (PEG) ratio is 2.39. The forward P/E is 19.12. Those are high for a bank. The annual dividend is 1.66%. The next earnings report should land on July 19th.
Northern Trust Corp. is a multi-bank holding company with worldwide locations and is a provider of treasury management, master trust, custody, retirement, risk and performance, international and investment management services for corporations, large institutions and individuals.
Northern Trust has earned distinction as a leading provider of personal fiduciary, asset management, personal and private banking, and master trust/custody, global custody and treasury management services.
(3) PNC Financial Services Group (PNC): This is a Zacks #2 Rank (BUY) stock. Of 7 covering analysts, there have been 7 upside revisions in recent weeks. What were the estimate revisions? 2017 annual earnings went from $8.74 30 days ago to $8.98 now (+0.22 cents).
Again, the long-term Zacks VGM score is D, with a C in Value and a D in Growth. The Price to Earnings Growth (PEG) ratio is 1.96. The forward P/E is 14.84. The annual dividend is 1.82%. The next earnings report should land on July 21st.
