This seed grant competition is an opportunity for the scientific and business community including entrepreneurs, clinicians, scientists, businesses, academic researchers and medical and engineering graduate and undergraduate students, to develop and commercialize a pediatric medical device.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAPDC is an FDA funded consortium based out of Georgia Tech (PI: David Ku), Emory University (co-PIs: Wilbur Lam, Kevin Maher), CHOA, and Virginia Commonwealth University (Co-PI: Barbara Boyan) that provides a national platform to translate medical device ideas from concept to commercialization. APDC\u2019S mission is to enhance the lives of children through the development of novel pediatric medical devices, which are both save and effective. The consortium provides an environment of creativity, where ideas are reviewed, tested, and developed. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe application for seed grant funding begins with a written proposal, submitted to the APDC Innovation Competition Review Committee.
