Under this solicitation, two FDA-funded Pediatric Device Consortia grant programs, CTIP and NCC-PDI, have come together to maximize their resources to select and support a new cohort of device innovators to receive grant funding and wraparound services by the two consortia. We are seeking proposals from inventors from all sectors – including the business community and academic medical centers – who are proposing a medical device solution to address a significant unmet need in the pediatric population.

Proposals should be directed towards the development of a commercializable product, and not research of a scientific concept. Issues such as prototyping, manufacturing, marketing, and regulatory clearance will be paramount and should be addressed explicitly.
