The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) has just published a solicitation for funding entitled " Brain Machine Interface Prototype Development for Vision Restoration".
The overarching goal of this program, is to provide a prototype visual prosthesis for human testing within 5 years that (1) provides the ability to navigate for ambulation, identify faces and objects critical to daily life, and read large print, and (2) is economically feasible. Applications to MTEC should clearly state how the proposed research provides an innovative solution to a critical problem in the development of a brain machine interface prototype for vision restoration. A critical step towards realization of the overarching goals is the development of an appropriate brain-machine interface.
Please note that submitters must be members of MTEC to apply. To learn about becoming a member and to apply please visit the MTEC website at www.mtec-sc.org.
A pre-proposal is not needed. The Proposal Due Date: August 22, 2016 12:00PM Eastern Daylight Time.
