We have used the 3D printing services at M-PED to build device prototypes and tissue phantoms to mimic human anatomy. The 3D printing services at M-PED have allowed us to perform the product design iteration and product validation at a much faster speed and greatly lower cost.
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:
