CALL FOR PRE-PROPOSALS - Moving promising, early-stage technologies toward commer-cialization can be challenging--going beyond the so-called 'valley of death'--a segment of the commercialization pathway where funding may be unavailable because the research work is considered too applied for federal funding and too risky for private investment. Life Sciences Discovery Fund (LSDF) commercialization grants can unlock the funding gate to commercialization. LSDF is currently seeking pre-proposal submissions for its 2009 Summer Commercialization Grant Competition. Two-page pre-proposals are due on Wed., July 15, 2009. Grants will fund research and development of new technologies in an effort to reduce the risk associated with their commercialization. This work, often referred to as "prototype development," or "proof of principle" or "reduction to practice" experimentation is supported by LSDF to improve health and health care and to foster economic development within Washington state. Grants will be up to $150,000 for work to be completed within one year. Full proposals are due on Wed., September 9 and awards will be announced in mid-December. More info...
