Advisory Panel Meeting (TENTATIVE)

June 1, 2008

We recognize that many early-stage companies/individuals have not yet written a formal business plan. If you do not have a formal business plan, BioAdvance offers an alternative course by providing a list of questions for you to answer in a formal proposal which also meets the application requirements of BioAdvance. These questions can be found in Appendix B of our Request for Proposals document. Applicants may also submit their recent (within last 6 months) Ben Franklin application in lieu of a business plan.

Academic researchers applying for funding should upload a description of their technology and potential products, a description of the use of funds, and an overview of the underlying intellectual property.

Once you have uploaded the requested documents select "SUBMIT." This will complete the registration/application form. If you experience difficulties or have questions about this form please email mmccoy@bioadvance.com.

Information provided in the online registration will be considered non-confidential.
