Proof of Concept Program

STARTUP Central will run two Proof of Concept (POC) cohorts in 2023 and 2024 to help you explore your innovative ideas to translate your research to help patients. Through the POC Program, you will learn about translation and academic entrepreneurship and be connected with others in our region who have similar interests. POC awards are available for researchers at academic institutions across the Central IDeA state region (ND, SD, NE, KS, and OK). The solicitation can be found below.

Register HERE for the first cohort by October 25th.
