Ongoing through Friday, December 4, 2026, 5pm

Biolocity Application

We’re proud to open our annual Request for Proposals on October 1, 2026. We invite innovators from Georgia Tech and Emory University to take their biomedical discoveries from the lab to real-world impact.
The application process is multi-stage: if selected to advance, you’ll prepare a full proposal outlining commercialization milestones and a corresponding budget, culminating in a pitch presentation to the Biolocity Oversight Committee.

At Biolocity, we’re not just funding ideas — we’re helping researchers bridge the gap from lab to market, and we can’t wait to see what innovations you’ll bring to the table.

Application Process
Phase 1:

Submit Video & Application along with Full Proposal: Submit a 3–5 minute lightning pitch video and project proposal along with your full application. (Download Biolocity Proposal Template HERE)
Oversight Committee Review: The Biolocity Team and Oversight Committee (OC) will review all submissions to select projects advancing to the next phase
Invitation to Phase 2: Selected projects are invited to work directly with the Biolocity team, developing their proposals and driving toward a successful pitch day

Phase 2:

Milestone & Budget Review: Participate in sessions to plan and refine your milestones and budget
Submit Full Proposal: Submit your completed full proposal to the Biolocity team including a Milestone Gantt Chart, Budget Proposal, and updated Summary Proposal (Download Biolocity Proposal Template HERE)
Mandatory Pitch Coaching: Attend a full-pitch coaching session to prepare for your presentation
Final Pitch: Present your full pitch to the Oversight Committee (OC)

Eligibility

Due to funding parameters this cycle, Georgia Tech–led proposals are limited to teams with a PI holding a faculty position in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. Note: Adjunct positions do not qualify. Please reach out if you have qualification questions/concerns. Emory-led proposals remain open to all Emory departments.
Intellectual property rights must be held (at least in part) by one of our partner institutions:
- Emory University
- Georgia Institute of Technology
At least one principal investigator must be affiliated with Emory or Georgia Tech
Technology must positively impact human health with compelling evidence for commercial potential
Two principal investigators are preferred – one technical expert and one clinical expert

Evaluation Criteria

Technologies are evaluated based on the probability of future commercial success and the following criteria:

Validity of unmet clinical need
Competitive landscape
Current and future market dynamics
Strength and nature of intellectual property
Addressability of regulatory risk
Nature of reimbursement landscape
High probability of attracting follow-on funding within 1-2 years of receiving an award

How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.

Atlanta and Marseille are both important southern capitals. Though environmentally and historically distinct–Marseille as a port city on the Mediterranean with origins dating back to ancient Greece circa 600 BCE, and Atlanta a landlocked city founded as a railroad terminus in 1837–both share a deep sense of place, history, and self-definition that have influenced their national culture.

In Atlanta, Lamoulère embedded herself within high school and college marching bands, making compelling portraits and photographing practices and performances that reveal the discipline, pride, and sense of community built by the students. Mathieu approached the car-dependent city as a pedestrian, documenting improvised paths and meeting people who navigate a landscape not prioritized for walking.

In Marseille without French fluency, Blas and Greer worked with introspective and observational approaches. Blas connected with teenagers working at Friche la Belle de Mai, an arts and cultural center, creating thoughtful, collaborative portraits, while also assembling altarpieces from found objects. Greer explored Marseille’s layered landscapes and terrains, capturing moments and places where past, present, and future converge as everyday life in the city unfolds.

The four artists offer their individual perspectives of both cities, revealing unexpected parallels and resonances that allow both locals and visitors to see facets of these places anew, and fostering a transatlantic dialogue that bridges the two cities.
