MPDC Advisers assist in reviewing and providing feedback to inventors and companies that are looking to the MPDC for funding, resources, guidance and assistance. We look to our Advisers to bring relative expertise and excellence in all domains leading to product commercialization and offer opportunities to aid these innovations.
In particular, MPDC Advisers have the chance to review innovations and inventions within specific domains and clinical specialties relative to the Adviser’s expertise. This allows inventors and companies to get relevant feedback and enables professionals to see and interact with new ideas in the pediatric MedTech space.
In return for the reviews and advisement provided, Advisory Council Members are granted access to the MPDC Deal Flow, connecting inventors and companies interested in receiving input, resources and assistance. This collaboration helps us sustain a growing MedTech and pediatric support network with you as a part of it!
Advisers usually spend up to five hours a quarter either reviewing applications (spring/fall) or advising specific company needs based on Adviser interest.
Advisers are not financially compensated for their time. However, the MPDC does provide exclusive resources related to MPDC projects, initiatives, and opportunities to engage companies approaching the MPDC for assistance.
The MPDC usually has semiannual grants and review cycles in the spring and fall.
