The inaugural pilot grant program focused on funding research projects related to cardiovascular health, cancer diagnosis and treatment, musculoskeletal health, otolaryngology and pediatric medicine.

Research teams led by faculty at both Indiana University School of Medicine and the Purdue University College of Engineering were recently awarded pilot grants to fund joint research projects as part of a growing ecosystem of collaboration and integration between the two schools and to continue to build momentum for the planned institute for Engineering in Medicine.

The goal of these collaborative projects is to combine the nationally recognized expertise of two of the state’s top academic research programs to develop novel technologies and approaches that will lead to innovative solutions for improved patient care.
