Funding Opportunity: Flinn Foundation 2023 Translational Research Seed Grants Program

Apply for Flinn Foundation Translational Seed Grants Program

The application for Flinn Foundation's next round of its Translational Research Seed Grant Program is now open.

The deadline to apply is February 3, 2023.

The Flinn Foundation Seed Grants to Promote Translational Research Program will fund up to 10 research teams affiliated with an Arizona university, research institution, or health-care system that are advancing new products or services to improve patient care.

Awardees will each receive a $100,000 grant over 18 months, plus programmatic benefits. At the end of the grant period, up to two of the most successful projects may receive up to an additional $100,000 over the following year. Each supported team will use the 18-month grant period to de-risk its product/process, refine its design, and/or acquire key validation data and stakeholder feedback—and secure, or have a well-defined plan to secure, new sources of funding to advance toward positive patient impact.
