Faculty and researchers are invited to submit proposals for funding from the
Dartmouth, Johnson & Johnson,
and Borealis Ventures Seed Grant
Program. A committee comprised of representatives from all three organizations
will begin looking at proposals starting Dec. 15.
"The goal of the Seed Grant Program is to support research projects
that might someday become high-impact medical technologies with promising
commercial potential," says Gregg Fairbrothers '76, director of the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial
Network and an adjunct professor of business administration at the Tuck School of Business.
The program, established in August, is designed to validate peer-reviewed
Dartmouth research through the "proof of concept" stage, and launch
the projects on a successful path to clinical and commercial adoption. It's
intended to foster collaboration and innovation within the Dartmouth and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC)
communities.
Fairbrothers, who is a member of the seed grant's research steering
committee, welcomes proposals from all areas of the College, including arts and
sciences, Dartmouth Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck
School, and DHMC. Both individuals and groups are encouraged to apply. The
committee will award between four and eight individual grants of $50,000 to
$100,000.
For complete details about the Seed Grant Program contact Fairbrothers at
