The I2C Program provides funding to support BC health researchers as they move health innovations towards practical application to improve health outcomes, benefit society, and enrich the health innovation ecosystem.
Each award provides up to four years of funding which can be used to support activities directly related to implementation of a commercialization plan, and/or cover a portion of the award recipients’ salaries to protect time to progress their innovation.
Now in its third year, the program has already funded exciting products and technologies in the development stage, from a liquid skin substitute to support chronic wound healing, to a wearable exoskeleton to increase the mobility of people with lower limb disabilities.
This year, we are pleased to be continuing our partnership with Mitacs to offer an expedited application process for supplemental Mitacs Accelerate internship funding for graduate students or post-doctoral fellows working on the proposed I2C project.
