Academic-Industrial Partnerships (AIP) to Translate and Validate In Vivo Imaging Systems
Funds a company and an academic group working as one team to turn an imaging, spectroscopy or data-science advance into something usable in the clinic.
Most imaging research stops at a demonstration. The National Cancer Institute funds the awkward stretch after that — where a promising method has to become an instrument, a protocol or a piece of software that a hospital could actually run — and it insists the work is done jointly.
The partnership is the point. An academic group brings the discovery; a company brings the ability to make, support …
Joint academic and industrial projects translating advances in imaging, spectroscopy and data science into validated methods or tools addressing the biology, risk, diagnosis, treatment or disease status of cancer and other diseases. Clinical trials are optional.
