i3 Prism

i3 Prism is an early-stage technology commercialization fund focused on women and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) healthcare innovators who aim to bring new healthcare solutions to patients and society, and advance 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.

Innovators seeking to develop their technology with the potential for commercialization can submit to the i3 Prism Request for Proposals (RFP). 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.
