Fig. 1. — Pediatric Device Innovation Consortium (PDIC) funding programs with project selection and guidance processes. The PDIC has developed three different funding programs. Each is designed to facilitate pediatric innovation from a unique perspective: faculty/clinicians (Device Development) industry (Industry–Academic Collaborative), and patients/caregivers (Community Discovery). Applications submitted to all three programs are first reviewed by the core PDIC management team. Device Development and Industry–Academic Collaborative Programs support development of a defined technology, and have similar processes represented by blue boxes and arrows. Following the initial review, applications undergo an in-depth review by internal and external experts. Projects that meet criteria receive funding and development support, whereas projects that do not meet criteria receive feedback and guidance. The Community Discovery process, represented by orange boxes and arrows, supports conceptualization of solutions for unmet needs. Following the initial review, submissions of unmet needs are validated by external experts, explored for potential solutions and may receive further technology development support through the Device Development or Industry–Academic Collaborative programs.
