Feb 7 Deadline: Reimagining Respiratory Protection QuickFire Challenge
The Reimagining Respiratory Protection QuickFire Challenge invites participants to come up with innovative solutions that help better protect the public from infectious agents and the threat of pandemics.
Respirators have remained largely unchanged for almost 50 years, despite major shortcomings identified within the current design and increasing threats of air pollution and airborne epidemics. In an age of disruption spurred by technological advances, it’s time to take action – to attempt to prevent needless suffering and save lives by improving respiratory safety.
Up to two innovators will be awarded up to $100,000 in grant funding, access to the Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS ecosystem, and support in developing their ideas from BARDA, to support health security products and technologies in biotechnology, life science research, and medical innovations as they navigate research, development, and regulatory pathways.
