COLUMBIA BIOMEDICAL Engineering TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATOR
We are very excited to announce that the Columbia Biomedical Engineering Technology Accelerator is currently accepting Pre-Proposals for the next application cycle.
Areas of Interest:
All technologies that may have a direct impact on human health will be considered (e.g., medical devices, diagnostics, software, platform technologies, etc.). However, the most relevant are those where time to market can be achieved in a short time frame (e.g., 3-5 years). Projects that propose to undertake discovery research will not be considered.
Successful proposals must be translational in nature, i.e., the proposals must focus on efforts to translate research results into innovative clinical products and applications that have commercial potential and societal benefit.
Eligibility:
Eligible teams must include an engineer or scientist AND a practicing clinician.
Applicants must have a full-time faculty appointment, and at least one of the lead investigators should be from Columbia University. Graduate students and post-doctorate trainees can act as a project lead, with permission from the principal investigators (PIs).
The technology must be based on Columbia Intellectual Property. We suggest discussing the application and project with your Columbia Technology Ventures licensing officer before applying. If you do not have a licensing officer, please reach out to techventures@columbia.edu.
If you need an engineering or clinical collaborator, we may be able to facilitate introductions. Please email matchmaking requests to biomedx@columbia.edu.
PRE-PROPOSALS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2020.
