Brigham & Women’s Hospital will host its bi-annual Shark Tank in May 2024 to fund innovative and high-risk/high-impact projects in the basic, clinical, digital and translational realms through its Health & Technology Innovation Awards. Sponsored by the Brigham Research Institute (BRI) and the BWH Health & Technology Subcommittee, these awards aim to advance projects that have the potential to make an impact in one or more of the following domains – biomedical research, healthcare delivery, the generation of new companies/products/services, cost savings, care quality and provider burnout.
Supported by the Brigham Research Institute, the BWH Health and Technology Innovation Awards focused on high-risk, high-impact projects across ALL areas of research. Submissions for this track could be basic, clinical, digital and translational projects that have the scientific merit and novelty to significantly advance the progress or research in the field OR have the commercialization potential to be transformed into innovative products/services/companies OR have the potential to impact patient care, cost savings etc. at BWH. Non-renewable grants (up to $50,000) will be awarded on a competitive basis in this cycle.
Applications will be evaluated and ranked for funding priority based on a strategic and scientific/innovation review. Ultimate selection will depend on input from a review committee and recommendations from the BRI Executive Committee (EC). Please note that the selection process will involve review by both BWH faculty (clinicians/researchers) as well as non-BWH reviewers including donors, venture capitalists, representatives of the biopharma/device industry and other friends of the Brigham. The final selection round will be a ’shark tank’ (live pitch session) featuring the finalists and conducted as a closed-door meeting with the review committee in attendance.
