UK MidSouth REACH 3.0

Overview

The Mid-South REACH (Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub) program is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded initiative that extends across four states: Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia. The primary goal of this grant program is to accelerate the real-world impact of biomedical and health-related innovations through education, mentorship, and financial support for aspiring entrepreneurs.

The Mid-South REACH program is not a traditional grant program; it focuses on product development and requires milestone-based project management in six-month increments, renewable up to four times.
