Grants


Programs and Centers

Several grants are active that leverage the technologies and the community that CBST has developed.  These grants have the commons goals of strengthening ties between academia and industry, commercializing biophotonics-enabled technologies, and educating students and researchers in entrepreneurship and commercialization.

NSF Accelerating Innovation Research Grant:  The Ecosystem for Biophotonics Innovation (EBI)

The goal of the EBI is to leverage the research and technology developed at CBST.  Towards this goal, we have formalized an R&D, education, and commercialization alliance among: CBST, Sacramento Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA) MedStart, 3rd party investors from industry, and a variety of other academic and commercial partners.

NSF I/UCRC: Center for Biophotonics Sensors & Systems

Boston University and the University of California at Davis have established a national resource for Biophotonic Sensors and Systems where photonics provides the enabling technologies for advances in methods to detect, sense, identify and understand biological properties, conditions or changes at the molecular and cellular/sub-cellular level.   This research is expected to lead to significant commercial benefits in areas such as: disease diagnosis, drug efficacy testing, patient drug effectiveness monitoring, and food & water safety.  (List of UC Davis faculty conducting research in areas of interest to CBSS.)

NSF Partnerships for Innovation: Medical Technology Commercialization Clinic

UC Davis was awarded the NSF PFI award to develop a Medical Technology Commercialization Clinic (MTCC) as a demonstration project that allows hands-on learning about medical technology commercialization.  MTCC is a collaboration between the UC Davis School of Medicine, CBST, California State University, and Fisk University.
