UN&UP Takes First Place at NIH Blueprint MedTech Seedling Summit.
UN&UP is proud to announce that it won first place at the NIH’s inaugural Blueprint MedTech program summit which took place at Howard University in Washington DC on May 9th, 2024. The overarching goal of the NIH Blueprint MedTech program is to accelerate patient access to groundbreaking, safe, and effective medical devices. The program will provide support to sufficiently develop and de-risk technologies to the point where additional investments are warranted from industry partners, investors, and government. Seedling awards provide support for six months, a $25,000 stipend, and $25,000 to hire subject matter experts. For these, mentors will work with awardees to help resolve specifically identified gaps on the path to commercialization.
