Proceeds of this award will be used to support collaborative translational research
projects that involve co-investigators from the University of Louisville Department of Bioengineering
and a clinical department within the University of Louisville. The goal of this program is to support
collaborative research that addresses unmet clinical needs, improvements in healthcare and the
introduction of commercial products. The research must relate directly to applications in health care, and
the objectives of the project should include an outcome that will benefit patients. Examples of desirable
outcomes include inventions, patents, improved diagnosis and treatment of disease, commercialized
products, licenses, partnerships and start-up companies.
