Sanofi launched the Innovations in Data Exploration and Analytics (iDEA) Awards initiative in 2018 to assist collaborators in making cutting-edge discoveries. The Sanofi iDEA-TECH Awards program provides seed funding for researchers and early start-ups to transcend new technologies and solutions for digital data science applications. Sanofi aids the research and development process to stimulate rapid productions of ideas that will improve people’s lives.<\/p>\n
Past award winners have used AI technology to study atopic dermatitis, data analytics to study neurodegenerative and immune diseases, and data science to translate experimental findings to real-world populations with processes that can be repeated.<\/p>\n
Sanofi conducts a fast selection process to get projects started in less than eight months. Successful applicants will receive $150,000 in seed funding over a one-year project duration. Sanofi provides resources and access to experts to encourage further collaboration opportunities.<\/p>\n
