The CIMIT Boston Simulation Consortium (CBSC) is announcing a national award competition to support the development of simulation innovations. Simulation innovators across the country are developing creative solutions to address unmet needs. This seed funding is intended to advance such work to enable widespread dissemination. Of particular interest are low-cost solutions that can be flexibly deployed across multiple simulation environments.

The competition is open to innovators from academic institutions, medical centers, non-profit institutions with 501c(3) status, and qualified small businesses in the United States. Collaboration with the CIMIT-Boston Simulation Consortium is encouraged, but not required.
