Learn about successful strategies for building a multi-submission strategy and academia-industry collaborations in the pursuit of non-dilutive grants and contracts from SBIR $100K awards to large-scale collaborative funding $10M and more to support biomedical research development. Ram May-Ron, Managing Partner of FreeMind Group (freemindgroup.wpengine.com), examines the challenges and offers insightful tips to facilitate effective collaborations that lead to funding success.
