NH BioMade seeks to advance the design and manufacture of biomaterials used in medical applications such as orthopedic implants, trauma fixation hardware, scaffolding for tissue engineering, and biomedical sensors, and to address industry and clinical needs.

The NH BioMade Research Seed Funding Opportunity provides up to $50,000 in direct costs to faculty and research associates at New Hampshire universities and colleges to conduct pilot projects or collaborations with industry. Up to $5,000 is available for the use of equipment at the University of New Hampshire Instrumentation Center.
