Innovation Grants Program | Foundation for Health Advancement Providing Support to Develop Promising Ideas The Innovation Grants Program helps researchers and students at our affiliated organizations -- Cooper University HealthCare, Hackensack Meridian Health, Kessler Foundation, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Rowan University, Rutgers University and Virtua Health -- continue to advance their research by providing grants of up to $75,000 to support further development of their work.
Grants must be used to fund only direct program costs. Grants cannot be used to fund overhead, tuition or any other indirect costs. We created the Innovation Grants Program to help address an important need of researchers in the middle stage of our funding continuum – in between very early research ideas and those ready to form companies.
Many of the researchers who receive Innovation Grants have great ideas but lack access to funding and other resources to further their research. Most do not have an understanding of the business processes required to achieve their goal – proof of concept and commercialization of their work to make their device or treatment available to those who need it.
Our commitment to the researchers and students goes beyond the grant funding we provide. Our team provides mentoring and direction to researchers. Recently supported projects hold the promise of creating tremendous benefits for society.
Researchers are investigating ways to detect the early onset of dementia, investigating novel treatments for alcohol use disorder, combating diabetes, treating intraocular diseases, developing insect repellents to improve global health, and researching approaches to combat cancers and allergic inflammation.
