The applications for the Flinn Foundation Translational Seed Grants and Bioscience Entrepreneurship programs are now open. The seed grants deadline is Friday, Sept. 11. The deadline for the entrepreneurship program is Friday, Oct. 30.
Up to 10 Arizona-based research teams will be selected for a $100,000 seed grant. In addition, three grantees will be eligible for $100,000 in follow-on funding or direct admittance into the entrepreneurship program. The six Arizona bioscience startups selected for the entrepreneurship program will receive $75,000 in support through a nonprofit partner.
For 2027, the two grant programs were updated to increase funding opportunities and to encourage new pathways toward commercialization.
The programs were created more than a decade ago to further the goals of Arizona’s Bioscience Roadmap and contribute to new medical products and services that improve health outcomes in Arizona and beyond.
