The Wellcome Trust invites proposals for its translation fund.
This aims to bridge the funding gap in the commercialisation of new technologies in the biomedical area. Projects covering any aspect of technology development from a range of disciplines, including physical, computational and life sciences, will be considered. Projects must address an unmet need in healthcare or in applied medical research, offer a potential new solution and have a realistic expectation that the innovation will be developed further by the market. The trust is particularly keen to receive proposals in novel biomedicine that seek to restore function to the body and enable people to lead full and independent lives.
