Catalyze Product Definition Medical Device prototype design/testing and disease target identification and assay development
Funds building and testing an early medical-device prototype and its matching disease target or assay, for heart, lung, blood or sleep disease.
A device idea for heart, lung, blood or sleep disease usually needs two things worked out at once: a working prototype, and a disease target or assay that proves the prototype is measuring or treating the right thing. This notice funds both together.
It sits inside NHLBI's Catalyze Program's device track. The R61 first phase supports identifying and testing an initial prototype design, identifyin…
Phased development and testing of an initial medical-device prototype alongside disease target identification and assay development (R61), followed by continued prototype development, design refinement and larger-scale testing (R33), for heart, lung, blood or sleep disease, under NHLBI's Catalyze Program.
