APE-Bridgepath Win $50K through Ft Detrick Tech Transfer

According to news release by TEDCO yesterday:

The Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO), in collaboration with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and the Frederick County Office of Economic Development (OED), today announced that two companies have been awarded a total of $100,000 in funding through the Ft. Detrick Technology Transfer Initiative (FDTTI). Theradigm, Inc., and APE-BridgePath Scientific, LLC, which each received $50,000, are the first companies to receive funding through the program’s $750,000 extension of FDTTI. 

“Maryland is fortunate to be home to Ft. Detrick and some of the most promising technical innovations
in the country,” said Governor Martin O’Malley. “I applaud the Maryland congressional delegation for
supporting and funding such an important program. FDTTI and other TEDCO initiatives ensure that these
advancements benefit not only Marylanders, but all Americans.”

TEDCO works with the USAMRMC to maintain awareness of new technologies in the pipeline; develop effective strategies for the transition of successful projects to follow-on funding; efficiently manage the
proposal funding, reporting and transition phases of projects; and coordinate with the Ft. Detrick Business
Development Office to increase procurement opportunities for small businesses.

“The FDTTI extension allows companies like Theradigm and APE-BridgePath Scientific to further develop their technologies, and it fosters important relationships with Ft. Detrick for many Maryland companies,” said Renée Winsky, president and executive director of TEDCO. “A great amount of progress in assessing and addressing the needs of the U.S. Army was made through the first round of FDTTI funding. TEDCO looks forward to tracking the future success of this important program.”

Since I know APE-BridgePath will be at BioBeers, y’all can just wait until next week to speak with them in person..
