As federal research funding landscapes continue to shift, many in the biomedical engineering community are facing growing uncertainty and widening resource gaps. 

In a thought-provoking keynote at this year’s BMES Annual Meeting in San Diego, Calif., leaders from industry, philanthropy, and government explore how researchers can rethink traditional grant pathways and strategically pursue emerging opportunities beyond federal support.

Moderated by Holly Smithson, President & CEO of Athena, the keynote featured distinguished panelist Taya Cassens, Senior Principal Systems Technology Engineer, Medtronic; Dr. Ishita Das, Director, Science Philanthropy Accelerator for Research and Collaboration (SPARC), Milken Institute Strategic Philanthropy; Dr. Elizabeth Noblin, CIRM Fellow, Program Development & Portfolio Management, CIRM.

After you view the keynote, we hope you will join the conversation on BMES Hub.
