Grant Solicitation for Digital Health Sandbox Program

Solicitation No. (2019 - MeHI - 02)

The Massachusetts eHealth Institute (“MeHI”), a division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (“MassTech Collaborative”), is offering grants to fund projects to support companies looking to test and validate new products and services in a sandbox environment.

MeHI released this solicitation for applications from Massachusetts digital health companies seeking support to test and validate their products or services in a sandbox environment. This is a rolling solicitation and any responses submitted after the initial deadline will be reviewed on a periodic basis, typically once per fiscal year, pursuant to the evaluation criteria set forth in this solicitation. Information on the participating sandboxes and their capabilities will be kept up-to-date on the Sandbox Program webpage.

Sandboxes will be periodically added as they are approved by MeHI. Applicants should carefully review the information to determine which sandbox can support their testing needs and they must engage in conversations with the sandboxes before applying. A signed letter of support from the applicant's selected sandbox is required as part of the application. Applicants may review summaries of approved projects here.
