Program Overview
Type: Vanderbilt Reinvestment Award (VRA)
The Vanderbilt Initiative in Surgery and Engineering (ViSE) is an interdisciplinary, transinstitutional program designed to facilitate interaction between clinicians, engineers and scientists. ViSE has grown from a grass roots effort to a major force on the Vanderbilt campus. This reinvestment award will provide seed grants for new projects to facilitate the development of new medical devices, expand the translation of new technology to the marketplace and enhance educational initiatives designed to train the next generation of engineers, surgeons and entrepreneurs dedicated to solving medical problems with the new surgical devices. It is anticipated that a quantum increase in impact across campus will be achieved.
