University of Cincinnati, 2009 - $7,500

The Medical Device Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program (MDIEP) at the University of Cincinnati is an interdisciplinary graduate program that focuses on addressing real-life clinical problems. Design teams from the program have been recognized by the BMEIdea and ASME I-Show competitions. The program currently operates on funding from industry sponsors.

This grant will bring forth a new PSM program that will be in partnership with the MDIEP. Team members will survey their respective departments for applicable courses so that each discipline can communicate its strengths and visions. In addition, a lecture series broadening participation in the current MDEIP program will be established.
