The Rocky Mountain Research, Evaluation, and Commercialization Hub (RMT-REACH) is seeking proposals for the 2026 RMT-REACH Pilot Awards to support the translational advancement of promising health innovations. This award is open to researchers affiliated with academic institutions across Montana, Alaska, Idaho, and Wyoming. The program supports proof-of-concept and go-to-market strategy activities through milestone-driven funding. Supported innovations may span the spectrum of health outcomes, including therapeutics, preventatives, diagnostics, devices, methods, or research tools that move the needle forward on unmet patient and public health needs. RMT-REACH intends to fund four pilot projects with up to $50,000 in direct costs each in this application cycle. We encourage preapplications from any innovator with a promising health technology. By going through the preapplication screening process, additional resources for the project can be identified and directed to the applicant, regardless of whether the project advances to the full application stage. Preapplications are due by Thursday, February 12 at 5:00pm MT. For submission information and to learn more about this funding opportunity, please read the RFA available below or visit our website. For program or eligibility questions, please either email [email protected] or schedule a time to meet with an RMT-REACH team member at this Booking Page. |
