Technology Development Fund
The Berthiaume Institute for Precision Health seeks proposals for the development of new technology (for example, instrumentation or software), or the purchase of existing technology, that could have a significant impact on precision health. This impact might include improvements in therapeutic targeting, increases in the accuracy or speed of measurements, automation of fabrication processes, or other translational capabilities, as well as more basic approaches that expand our understanding of human health and its functioning. This year, BIPH anticipates awarding up to $75,000 to one or more technology development projects.
