The Flinn Foundation has opened its application for the next round of $100,000 translational research seed grants for Arizona-based research teams.
About 10 teams affiliated with an Arizona university, research institution, or health-care system will be awarded the grant over 18 months, plus receive programmatic benefits. At the end of the grant period, up to two of the most successful projects may receive up to an additional $100,000 over the following year.
The Flinn Foundation seeks proposals from research teams with innovative solutions to well-defined and compelling clinical needs in the areas of precision medicine, diagnostics, devices, therapeutics, and health-care delivery processes. Proposed projects must have reached a point where they have significant potential to turn bench results into viable products or services to benefit patients in Arizona and beyond.
The deadline to apply is Sept. 26.
The Request for Proposal and program flyer provide additional information about program benefits, eligibility, use of funds, and expectations.
Since 2013, the Flinn Foundation has awarded 73 seed grants totaling about $8.5 million.
