Welcome to the Global Cardiovascular Innovation
Center
The Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center (GCIC)
announces the next round of the Commercialization Funding Program
beginning with a formal request for proposals released on May 20, 2010.
Our Mission:
To be an international leader in developing, acquiring, incubating, and commercializing cardiovascular technology.
"Cleveland's Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center is a 250 million dollar public-private partnership
formed to develop new cardiovascular products. It will create hundreds of new jobs, and more importantly,
it will help countless patients in Ohio and around the world overcome a terrible threat to their health.
The state's commitment to bioscience is a major reason why Ohio hosts 25 percent of all clinical trials
conducted in the U.S. This is research that creates jobs and saves lives."
- Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, State of the State Address, February 6, 2008
