Pediatric Device Innovation Grant – Fall 2026
With support from the FDA’s Office of Orphan Product Development, the Pediatric Device Consortium (PDC) jointly announce the Pediatric Device Innovation Grants to advance the development of innovative devices and technologies specifically intended for use in pediatric populations. Grants will support milestone achievement for pediatric device projects at any step along the development pathway, from ideation through commercialization. In the Fall 2026 Grant Cycle, $300,000 in direct device funding will be awarded. Grant sizes will range from $25,000 to $50,000.
Any US-based company or group developing a medical device that they intend to seek pediatric labeling for is eligible to apply. The technology must meet the FDA’s definition of a medical device. All applicants who submit an Initial Application will have the opportunity to meet with the MPDC or APDI to discuss additional resources, funds, and opportunities available through the PDC. These meetings may lead to advisement, consulting, or execution of small scopes of work (SOW) supported by PDC funds and/or the PDC’s industry partner and clinician network
