**Deshpande Center Grant Call**

[Natalia M Barbour]

Does your technology have the potential to be commercialized?
Could it be ready to launch in the next few years?

The MIT Deshpande Center is offering three different grant programs for 2020.  All three programs are available to MIT employees with Principal Investigator (PI) Status.  Specific funding is also available for machine learning in healthcare.

Why work with the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation?

  *   Since 2002 we have supported 150+ research projects, with over $20 million in grants; and 41 of the projects have spun out companies that have raised over $800 million in capital.
  *   Our high success rate is related to the strength of our Catalysts - mentors with significant domain and entrepreneurship expertise.
