Do you have a solution with the potential to radically improve health and save lives? The Center for Health Care Innovation is launching its inaugural YNHHS Innovation Award in 2022. All Yale New Haven Health employees and Yale University faculty are invited to submit proposals with the potential to translate promising technologies and research from the lab to enable these life saving tools to reach the people we serve.
All Yale New Haven Health employees and Yale University faculty are eligible to apply for the YNHHS Innovation Award.
Applications will be screened for completeness and basic eligibility requirements for an initial screen. Semi-finalists will be identified and invited to deliver a 10-minute pitch to an expert, judging panel. Winning selections will be determined based on: 1) unmet medical need, 2) likelihood of technical success, 3) novelty, 4) business model and competitive landscape, and 5) team composition and skills/background.
We are passionate about fostering inclusive innovation that promotes and values diversity. Collectives that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective are proven to generate better outcomes. We believe in creating an environment where everyone, from any background, can participate. We encourage applicants from all groups, including women, veterans, LGBTQ (Pride & Allies), BIPOC and any others not mentioned, to apply.
The intellectual property practices or guidelines of each respective institution will apply to employed awardees. Review the Employee Innovation and Intellectual Property Guidelines. Employees of Yale University can find relevant information at Yale Ventures.
