Receiving the M-PED Commercialization Gap Funding award has allowed me to create molds and fabricate prototypes of the DentalFoos Disposable Isolators for product testing. This is a crucial step for DentalFoos on the road to small-scale manufacturing and production.
The goal of the Pediatric Device Consortia (PDC) Gap Funding Initiatives is to provide gap funding to accelerate technology advancement and increase the likelihood of receiving future rounds of funding, ranging from SBIRs to larger NIH grants and/or private or venture capital investment.
Companies, individual inventors, clinicians, researchers and students are all encouraged to apply. You do not have to reside in the same state, or be affiliated with the academic or clinical centers, where the PDC is located.
Opportunities for Gap Funding are available from the following PDCs on an annual or semi-annual basis:
