The new Life Sciences Discovery Fund Commercialization Grants will encourage commercialization of science-moving technology from discovery to development for eventual delivery to the marketplace. The commercialization grants will target research efforts centered on validating the commercial merit of new technologies. This type of research is often referred to as prototype development, proof of principle, and reduction to practice. Up to $750,000 in total awards will be distributed for each of two competitions - a winter and a summer competition - per year.
