Funding Opportunity – NHLBI Catalyze Program

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Catalyze Program is soliciting applications for early stage translational research projects with the goal of developing basic scientific discoveries into viable therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics to treat heart, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders.

Funding is available for early stage technology development, including:

Therapeutics (Small molecules/Biologics)
– Identifying and characterizing lead compounds

Devices/Diagnostics/Tools
– Developing, testing, and modifying prototypes
– Identifying and developing assay targets
– Developing research tools

Enabling Technologies and Transformative Platforms
– Developing highly-innovative, next-generation technologies that could transform current approaches to clinical practice or translational research (technology must be beyond proof-of-concept and should be ready to begin validation)
– Accelerating the areas of early detection and screening, animal model development, or clinical diagnosis

Learn more about the program and the informational webinar taking place on October 3, 2019 on the NHLBI website.

Stony Brook University, College of Business in partnership with the Center for Biotechnology and Department of Biomedical Engineering has been awarded an Empire State Development Life Science Entrepreneur Development grant to address the growing need for entrepreneurial talent in New York’s life science ecosystem. These entrepreneur development grants will help close the talent gap that has previously limited life science commercialization in the state and will develop entrepreneurs with the mix of skills and expertise needed to successfully guide innovative life science startups along the path to commercial viability.

Five graduate schools of business working in collaboration with graduate programs in the life sciences have been awarded grants of up to $500,000 each to implement a new MBA concentration or certificate in life science entrepreneurship. Collaborations between the business school and life science graduate program are critical to equipping students with the skills needed to become leaders in New York’s growing life science ecosystem.

Dr. Clinton Rubin, Director of the Center for Biotechnology commented, “We hope to build from this NYS entrepreneurship education program to train the next generation of bioscience industry leaders. these students are perfectly placed to help lift NYS biotech to the next level, and translate next generation therapeutics, diagnostics and medical devices from the academic to the business sector.”
