Teams will also be invited to attend a series of workshops and one-to-one advising sessions to learn high impact innovation methods for refining and rapidly validating solutions.
Is technical support available?
Technical support can be provided if needed based on individual projects. The Center has technical staff on hand for design and development as well as expertise with legal and health system policy. Along with your innovation advisor, your team will determine when to access such resources.
