Mechanisms
Roles we can take
The right role depends on who does the research. We will tell you which mechanism fits before you build the budget.
STTR applicant
Pippa LLC applies as the small business concern, with your university as the partnering research institution leading the science. A natural fit when the university does most of the research.
SBIR applicant
Pippa LLC applies and performs most of the research and development, with university investigators as consultants or subawardees.
Subaward or contractor
On an investigator-initiated grant, we join as a subaward or fixed-price contractor for the technology work.
Foundation and other funders
Technology partner on private foundation and nonprofit research grants, under the same division of labor.

Letters of support
A signed letter describing our commitment and resources, on your schedule.
Product figures
Screens and dashboard views made with demonstration data, never real patient data.
