Our annual “Make Your Medical Device Pitch for Kids!” pitch competition awards FDA-funded grants that help support winning innovations as they take the next step on the path to commercialization. To date, NCC-PDI has mentored over 160 medical device sponsors to help advance their pediatric innovations, with 12 devices having received either their FDA market clearance or CE marking.
NCC-PDI is structured to provide critical mass for clinical, regulatory, business, scientific, and engineering expertise. Several faculty researchers hold affiliations with both SZI and the Clark School, adding to the Consortium’s wealth of experience in pediatric device development.
