Market Representation

The QED Program seeks life science and healthcare technologies with market attractiveness, the translational potential of which can be clarified with $200,000 of R&D support over 12 months. QED Program participation is available to scientists at registered participating organizations in two cycles per year (Spring and Fall). In each cycle, proposals are solicited via an RFP mechanism calling for submission of brief White Paper applications. White Papers are evaluated by the QED Program's team of industry experts and investors, and up to 10 applications are selected as "Finalists." Each Finalist is invited to prepare a comprehensive Proof-of-Concept Plan in collaboration with a QED Program Business Advisor, and to make a formal oral presentation of his/her detailed proposal. Up to three projects are selected for funding per cycle.

The QED Program will be administered through the Technology Transfer Office of your participating research organization. Please contact them now to discuss your interest in this opportunity, as you may need to comply with certain institutional procedures before you are eligible to apply to QED.
