Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation (IAMI)
A specific resource for Frontiers’ investigators is the nationally known Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation (IAMI) at the University of Kansas, which focuses on translating laboratory and bedside discoveries into new therapeutic opportunities. IAMI’s mission is to discover and develop pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and medical device technologies with a clear path to market. IAMI’s vision is to change the standard of care for pediatric, adolescent, adult, and elderly patients suffering from diseases, including cancer and rare diseases, by bringing solutions to market. IAMI leadership and experience in accomplishing commercialization can help Frontiers’ investigators succeed in their specific areas of interest. IAMI engages with Investigators at all Frontier’s partner Institutions to assist in product development focused on translational science. With the help of a Frontiers’ navigator, investigators can access mentorship, business advice, and can apply for IAMI Trailblazer pilot funding for promising research.
The IAMI Trailblazer pilot award is issued once per year. The trailblazer pilot provides funds up to $25,000 to carry out early-stage studies for experimental therapeutic trials, drug and medical device development, biomarker discovery and validation and entrepreneurship activities.
