CIMR MANIFESTS THIS VIA THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS:

The SPARK program, initiated by Stanford University, California, promotes medical research that benefits patients through seed funding, innovative ideas and a program of mentoring and support for aspiring researchers. Its goal is to bridge the gap between academia and industry, basic science and the clinic, and between ideas and patient outcomes. SPARK has been incredibly successful at Stanford with over 50% of selected projects resulting in commercialisation.

SPARK has now expanded globally by sharing its methodology and increasing intra-country and international collaboration on developing scientific and medical innovation.

SPARK Global now operates in over 23 countries, and 70 universities. Learn more

SPARK Oceania

SPARK Oceania, managed by CIMR, is the Spark Global program run in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

It comprises a 2-year educational and mentoring program for academics with projects of translational potential and is typically provided via the researcher’s university or institution.

Operating as a Not For Profit, all profits are reinvested into expanding its operations and optimizing successful translational medical research outcomes.

Since its launch in 2014, SPARK Oceania has provided mentorship and education to over 40 projects. These projects have progressed with significant success in the form of patents, clinical studies, licenses secured, and start-ups formed attracting over AUD$10 million in funding.

If your university or institute may be interested in starting a SPARK program, please contact us or find more information here.

A key objective of CIMR is to promote and facilitate the education of young researchers and individuals in creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship, and assist them in realizing their potential.

CIMR manages several national and international educational training courses each year in Biomedical Innovation, MedTech and Entrepreneurship at various universities and institutions.

The 2-week intensive training course for PhD or early career researchers, provides an interactive lecture and workshop-style introduction to entrepreneurship in science. The course educates participants in all areas of commercialisation of medical research including understanding the need to a problem, stakeholders, brainstorming, prototyping, clinical studies, regulatory strategy, reimbursement pathways, IP/legal, marketing and commercialisation.

If your university or institute is interested in hosting a course, we would like to hear from you.

The sooner young minds are exposed to creativity and innovation, the better.

Curiate is an interactive course for high school students in science innovation and creativity. The Curiate course for high school students immerses them in entrepreneurship whereby they gain invaluable soft skills such as critical thinking, team management, collaboration, empathy, learning from failure, managing success, etc.

Students are posed with a complex problem facing the world today and are shown how to dissect the issue and propose a prototype solution which they can then pitch to their peers, teachers and families.

Curiate courses can be tailored to the needs of each school, whether it be within or after school hours, number of weeks and level of hands-on interaction.

If your school is interested in running a Curiate course, we would like to hear from you.

CIMR is committed to the education of current and budding entrepreneurs of all ages, from high school students, to young researchers and established academics, in order to assist them develop novel ideas to complex problems – and commercialize these.
