Deadline: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 (noon)
The North Carolina Biotechnology Center’s new Translational Research Grant (TRG) program funds projects that explore potential commercial applications or initiate the early commercial development of university-held life science inventions. The technology must have the potential to solve a real world problem as a commercial product. The program is designed to fund team-driven and milestone-based research. 

Up to $100,000 may be requested for technical and associated business case development activities. Applicants must be researchers employed by North Carolina-based universities or nonprofit research institutes. Technical projects may be conducted at awardee institutions or outsourced to contract research organizations.
