Catalyst is seeking health care innovations from all members of the Stanford community (faculty, university and health care staff, and students) that can significantly impact global health care. Catalyst will award select projects with validated science that hold the promise of becoming world-changing solutions and are ready to be implemented through piloting, advanced prototype development, or early stage utilization. Catalyst rolls up its sleeves with you – aiding your project along the way – delivering necessary resources, such as program management, validation resources, testing and enterprise-level deployment and implementation within Stanford Medicine clinical settings or its broader health care system, go-to-market resources, readiness for independence and exposure to outside investors.
Eligibility:
Catalyst supports healthcare projects from inventors across Stanford’s community - including projects from faculty, staff, and students.
Requirements:
Catalyst funds projects with some level of enablement, beyond solely a concept or basic science – e.g. with an early working prototype, and/or feasibility data, or other early data to validate the potential of your innovation.
