About Surgical Innovations Accelerator

The Surgical Innovations Accelerator is a programme run through the surgery department at UCSF. It helps promising medical device ideas from university faculty move through product development towards the market and towards patient benefit.

Services

  • Seed funding: awards whose size depends on project needs and available funds.
  • Engineering support: technical help while a device is developed.
  • Personal advice: consultation with staff and an advisory board.
  • Expert network: consultants from academia, industry and venture capital.

Who it works with

Any UCSF faculty member with a medical device idea, and non-faculty UCSF applicants who have a faculty sponsor. Projects can be at any stage and address any surgical or medical need. Proposals are judged on unmet clinical need, technical feasibility and the likelihood of reaching patients.

Key facts

  • Host: UCSF Department of Surgery
  • Applications: no open call at the time of the site text
  • Return to programme: grantees whose projects lead to a startup or licence are asked to donate a small share back
