The world was ready for a better surgical adhesive. But Pittsburgh wasn’t. So a decade after its founding Cohera Medical, a promising startup based on an invention by University of Pittsburgh chemical engineer Eric Beckman, left town for what its owners considered a more favorable location for biomedical innovation—Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.aimed at halting that type of exodus.
Gerald Blazey, vice president for research at Northern Illinois University, likes the fact that NSF has set itself such an ambitious goal, and one that dovetails with what his institution hopes to achieve with its small but growing pot of federal research dollars. But NSF “will have to work very hard to make it a reality,” he cautions.
“Down here we like to call it singing from the same hymnal,” says Josh Carpenter, CEO of Southern Research, a nonprofit contract research organization that also manages technology transfer for its neighbor, the University of Alabama, Birmingham . NSF has not announced a schedule for the second round of the competition, only that the deadline for proposals will be “sometime” in fiscal 2023. Nor has it said how it expects applicants to allocate the money they receive. But the list of criteria it plans to use to rank the proposals gives some clues.
“Pittsburgh has been great for us,” the company’s then CEO told local media. “But we need to go where there are a lot of medical devices people, and Raleigh is a hub for that.”
