Seed Grant Program

About the Seed Grant

With funding from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University, and Georgia Tech's College of Engineering, College of Computing, College of Architecture, GVU Center and Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech, the Health Systems Institute (HSI) has established a seed grant funding program to support collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects that will help stimulate innovative healthcare research and promote improvements in healthcare. The seed grant awards are specifically designed to provide funding for novel projects that demonstrate a high potential for enhanced diagnostic capabilities of diseases, lead to new inventions that yield new patents, licenses and/or commercial products, lead to high quality peer-reviewed publications and those with high potential to leverage seed funding into extra-mural support.

HSI has recently completed its latest call and announced the recipients of the 2009-2010 Seed Grant Program awards. To learn more about the program and eligibility, please click here.
