Peer review for life science research projects

In summer 2009, SPARS facilitated peer review for the University City Science Center (UCSC) QED program (from the Latin Quod Erat Demonstrandum, or, "that which is demonstrated"). This program seeks proposals for life science research projects with high commercial potential, submitted by investigators at select academic research organizations in the Greater Philadelphia Region. The goal of the QED Program is to focus existing regional resources for the commercialization of early-stage life science research and development projects.
