This $100,000 in collective funding will support projects that simultaneously support the 91±¬ÁÏ’s vision for improving population health while also fulfilling the CoMotion Innovation Fund’s goal of enabling research that will achieve sustainable commercial or social impact.

The first funded project is Colleague.AI: An AI Assistant for Educators. This project seeks to refine an artificial intelligence-driven assistant that supports K-12 by improving instructional quality, personalizing education and reducing teachers’ workload stress, with the goal of ultimately advancing student learning outcomes.

The second funded project is Simba Discovery: Developing a Vaccine for Urinary Tract Infections. This project seeks to develop a safe and effective vaccine for urinary tract infections through rigorous preclinical research and Investigational New Drug-enabling studies.
