Mayo Clinic 2021 Advance the Practice Research Awardees
The Mayo Clinic Office of Translation to Practice selected projects for the Advance the Practice Research Award program. Projects receive 2021 funding (up to $50,000), along with support from a customized project development team.
The nine projects selected are designed to transform patient care. Medical need and commercial potential were key criteria in their selection. Other important considerations included readiness for translation, impact on clinical practice, and the strength of the research team and collaborators.
