Bioengineering Research Grants (BRG)
Funds small multidisciplinary teams applying bioengineering to a specific biomedical, translational or clinical problem, up to $500,000.
A tool built in an engineering lab and a problem sitting in a clinic rarely get solved by the same team. This notice pays a small team to be both.
It funds collaborations between the life and physical sciences that apply a multidisciplinary bioengineering approach to a biomedical problem, and that integrate, optimise, validate, translate or otherwise accelerate the adoption of promising tools, me…
Small multidisciplinary bioengineering teams integrating, optimising, validating, translating or accelerating adoption of tools, methods or techniques for a specific biomedical, translational or clinical research problem; clinical trials, where included, must test functionality or validate performance rather than establish efficacy, and phase III trials and commercial production are out of scope.
