The Flinn Foundation Seed Grants to Promote Translational Research Program awards a combined $1 million each year to 10 Arizona research teams with the potential to turn their findings into viable products and treatments that impact patients.
The application for the next cohort will open Sept. 3. The deadline to apply is Friday, Oct. 31. The awardees will be announced in March 2026 at the Flinn Foundation Bio Capital Conference.
To be eligible for the program, research projects must be directed by investigators from Arizona nonprofit academic- or medical-research institutions or health systems and address significant clinical needs in the areas of diagnostics, medical devices, therapeutics, precision medicine, and health-care delivery.
The Flinn Foundation has awarded 83 seed grants totaling about $9.5 million since 2013.
