Session Title for Website and App: How can NIH help me take my innovation to market?
Entrepreneurship and commercialization training opportunities at the NIH

Special Session Program

Description: This session highlights NIH programs designed to leverage scientific discoveries and technology development into healthcare solutions. The Concept to Clinic: Commercializing Innovation (C3i) program is based on the Coulter Commercialization Process and is designed to provide medical device innovators with specialized business frameworks and essential tools to translate biomedical technologies from the laboratory (concept) to the market (clinic). Since 2022, NIBIB has used the C3i framework to help teams in the Design by Undergraduate Teams (DEBUT) Challenge accelerate their design projects by sponsoring a DEBUT-specific program (dC3i).

There will be a brief overview of the C3i and dC3i programs along with other NIH entrepreneurship training opportunities. There will also be presentations by recent recipients of C3i and dC3i training, followed by a panel discussion.
