Mission

The Rocky Mountain Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (RMT-REACH) is a National Institute of Health (NIH) funded academic hub dedicated to accelerating the translation of biomedical research discoveries into technologies that address unmet medical needs, disease burden, and health disparities for populations in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

RMT-REACH does this by:

  • Identifying emerging biomedical discoveries with commercial viability in academic institutions
  • Providing access to early-stage development expertise and mentorship in areas of product development, regulatory, reimbursement, legal, business development, and overall commercial strategy
  • Providing funding (up to $100k over 2 years), and project management support for promising technologies and development teams to accelerate product definition studies
  • Elevating a regional pro-entrepreneurial culture
