   "Granville Biomedical has identified a Canadian market opportunity to develop and validate a novel buccal swab for oral cellular specimen collection which meets regulatory and customer needs.",
   "For this project, Granville Biomedical intends to develop anatomically accurate 3D printed procedural task trainers, which faithfully replicate human tissue and organs, as well as develop 3D printed equipment for use by health care providers.",
   "In this project Granville Biomedical Inc. will conduct R&D in order to: 1. Expand the suite of anatomically precise 3D models in the OB/GYN product line, 2. Develop 3D models for alternate medical disciplines, 3. Develop novel material recipes in order to produce anatomically accurate properties of composite tissue to be used in GBI models, and 4. Commence the development of an Augmented Reality (AR) simulation-based training platform to be used in collaboration with the OB/GYN models.",
   "Granville Biomedical has identified an opportunity to advance our novel pelvic health model to create a more complex anatomical structure, which includes the addition of a life-like uterus. The international demand has been voiced by market-leading medical device manufacturing companies, leading Canadian university research teams, as well as by international pelvic health practitioners.",
   "Granville Biomedical is seeking support to advance the research and development of an educational learning platform which will integrate with the company’s pelvic health anatomy simulation products.",
   "Granville Biomedical has identified an international market opportunity to develop an anatomical uterus model for the purpose of demonstrating and educating health care providers and patients in the measurement, fitting, placement, insertion, and removal of custom pessaries. Pessaries are prosthetic devices that are inserted into the vaginal canal to address conditions such as urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Such devices are typically prescribed and fitted by a clinician; however technology has advanced to provide opportunities for the 3D printing of biocompatible custom pessary",
   "The Firm has identified an opportunity to validate and commercialize their product line of anatomical models within women’s health. In direct response to market demand, Granville is also seeking to validate two recently developed models, which will expand the existing product line and create new international opportunities to increase revenue. The proposed series of bench test studies in this project are required to validate two recently developed models and to commercialize the complete Granville product line of women's health educational models.",
   "Granville Biomedical has identified an opportunity to partner with a national cancer care society and an Oncology Pelvic Health Professional to develop an educational model with removable cervix components that creates a more advanced training method for identifying and detecting cervical disorders, conditions, and pathologies. The focus of this project is to research, develop, and validate a series of novel interchangeable cervical openings, which accurately reflect the visual cues associated with precancerous conditions and cancer-related pathologies.",
   "Enhance business development capabilities to support international market growth",
   "This project addresses a need for more accessible, affordable and anatomically accurate surgical simulation task trainers by providing models for medical trainees and clinicians to rehearse high acuity procedures prior to operating on patients.",
   "COVID-19 Healthcare Supplies R&D: Responsible for assisting with R&D project tasks including: the research of Canadian & international testing statistics, future forecasting, and patent processes. Also assist with design, development, production, packaging, and sterilization of products. Women’s Health R&D: Responsible to assist with product design, editing and preparing print-ready 3D files, experience with Ultimaker, FormLabs, or other 3D printing processes will be considered an asset. Marketing & Business Development: Responsible for social media platform, scheduling (Hootsuite and HubS",
   "The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early -stage, small and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.",
   "The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.",
   "The Y Program candidate will be responsible for assisting with R&D related to the development of a novel swab for the collection of oral specimens to be used for genetic testing.",
   "The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.",
   "Support the commercialization and manufacture of nasal swabs for laboratory tests"
