Each year, the Flinn Foundation Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program offers funding, professional support, connections, and networking opportunities to Arizona early-stage bioscience companies.
This year, the program is piloting a new format as we await an update of Arizona’s Bioscience Roadmap that will extend beyond 2025.
Ten finalist companies will be selected for interviews, of which two will be awarded up to $100,000 each in project costs, professional development, and consulting services administered through Arizona Bioindustry Association. The remaining eight companies may elect to work with the Flinn Foundation to leverage the benefits of our network and advisors to advance their companies’ progress over the 12-month period.
In addition, the 10 companies will be offered exclusive opportunities to engage with the state’s bioscience, academic, and policy leaders, including one-year memberships to Arizona’s Bioscience Roadmap Steering Committee, and invited to convenings with fellow bioscience entrepreneurs.
Past Flinn Foundation Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program participants and Flinn Foundation Seed Grants to Promote Translational Research Program awardees are eligible to apply.
The submission deadline for the 2025 Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program is Monday, Dec. 16, 2024.
