Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants (EBRG) is a funding opportunity aimed towards engineering-oriented projects. It encourages the submission of research grant applications within the realm of bioengineering. This opportunity is geared toward exploring and developing solutions to challenges encountered within a wide range of medical arenas, including biomedical, pre-clinical, and clinical research, as well as the delivery of clinical care or accessibility related issues.

The EBRG is particularly interested in applications that will demonstrate the potential and feasibility of innovative solutions. The program aims to enhance the quality, speed, efficacy, operability, and cost-effectiveness of these solutions. It also hopes to better understand and improve the accessibility of solutions. Importantly, this specific grant program does not support clinical trials.
