Research Funding Opportunity

Do you have a research discovery that could improve patients' lives? The Gates Grubstake Fund provides awards of up to  $350,000 annually to investigators who are researching and developing regenerative medicine-related technologies including therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, manufacturing, and platforms. 

The Gates Grubstake Fund application period opens in July! More details coming soon. Investigators whose applications are selected will be notified to make final presentations to the Investment Committee.

The Grubstake Fund honors the spirit of Gates Institute benefactor Charles C. Gates, a Colorado businessman and entrepreneur who sought to infuse his family’s philanthropy with the tools of collaboration, creativity and a human focus. The Grubstake process recognizes that medical researchers often need expert guidance in protecting and translating their ideas into viable products for human benefit.

Successful applications generally have proof of concept data to support the use of their product in the clinic. Questions? Please review our FAQs, or contact the Grubstake Planning Committee.
