    Brief

    The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding the next phase of the EMBED project to advance toward human trials (EMBED 4.0). This opportunity supports formulation optimization and batch variation testing to demonstrate a more robust drug delivery mechanism. The work builds on previous development conducted by the EMBED research team in partnership with manufacturer ProMed. Suppliers and research partners are sought to develop and test multiple medication batches that will prove the reliability and consistency of the EMBED delivery technology. Success in this phase is critical to meeting regulatory requirements and advancing to human clinical trials. This is a continuation of previously awarded funding under Regulation 41, Schedule 5, paragraph 2.
