- Innovation – does the proposed research incorporate current methods/protocols to push the boundaries of stem cell-based research
- Impact – what impact will the proposed research have on our greater understanding of stem cells, developmental biology, disease modeling, tissue engineering, cell therapy or regenerative medicine?
- Workflow Application – to what extent will the proposed research utilize multiple Bio-Techne products (proteins, small molecules, cell culture products, antibodies and ELISA kits) in the workflow
- AI tools may be used to prescreen grant applications based on the same criteria listed above.
