QED Proof-of-Concept Award Program Accepting Applications Now through May 15

The University City Science Center is now accepting applications for its QED Proof-of-Concept Program. The QED Program is open to academic investigators developing medical technologies with commercial potential, and provides key areas of support, including business guidance and access to industry and investment communities. Selected investigators receive guidance from members of the region's entrepreneurial community and industry experts, working with them to develop project proposals that answer critical market questions. Feedback is then offered by potential investors and industry licensees, and up to four of the most promising proposals will be selected to receive continued guidance and up to $200,000 of funding, per project (up to $100,000 in cash - matched by the institution - over 12 months).
