Funding for Mount Sinai’s diverse innovation ecosystem.
About i3 Prism
i3 Prism aims to foster innovators and innovations that will support equitable provision of healthcare and help bring new solutions to patients and society while advancing technologies to the next level from a commercial perspective. Selected applicants will receive up to $33K in funding, which will be distributed based on the achievement of milestones.
How it Works
Innovators seeking to develop their technology with the potential for commercialization can submit to the i3 Prism Request for Proposals (RFP) during the proposal period. Applicants must also disclose the technology to MSIP. The submitted proposals will be distributed for review among Mount Sinai experts in fields including medical devices, digital health, and therapeutics. Applications will be judged and scored based on project feasibility and market risks against the budget and milestones provided. Recorded scores from the reviewers will be pulled and tabulated by members of an internal working group and the awardees will be selected. When the awardees are notified and have signed an Informed Participation Letter (IPL), fund accounts will be created and funding will be disbursed.
