Mandate and remit
CTIP is an FDA-funded pediatric device consortium led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles that accelerates the development and commercialization of pediatric medical devices from concept to market. It offers innovators networking, direct and indirect financial support through seed grants, and guidance on intellectual property, prototyping, engineering, testing, grant writing and clinical trial design. The consortium serves academic inventors, clinicians and outside medical device startups across California, Oregon and Washington, and is one of a small number of pediatric device consortia funded nationally by the FDA. Its network includes UCLA, Oregon Health & Science University, USC, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley and Seattle Children's Hospital. Companies engage by applying for seed funding and advisory support rather than by giving up equity.
