Category Call for proposal
Aim: A heightened awareness for the need to support the immune system throughout the year has resulted in an increased demand for products with immune-supporting and wholesome ingredients. To that end, JLABS is launching the Next in Naturals QuickFire Challenge on Immune-Support, calling on innovators to submit potential solutions inspired by nature that aim to support healthy immune systems in babies, children, or adults. The innovator(s) with the best idea(s) will receive up to $50,000 in grant funding, one year of residency at an available JLABS, and the opportunity to engage with leadership from Johnson & Johnson Innovation.

Innovators are encouraged to submit ideas for dietary supplements supported by scientific data including:
  • Products inspired by nature that fit within the traditional Immune Support space and either contain unique ingredients or come in unique product forms
  • Natural-based wellness potential solutions in areas beyond traditional Immune Support including gut health, vitamins, etc.

Ingredients and vehicles for delivery that are backed by non-confidential pre-clinical / clinical data are preferred but not required (could be references to existing literature). Product should be available for commercialization in existing retail channels within 6-18 months.

Funding: $50,000

Duration: 1 year

How to Apply: The one-step application process can be completed directly on JLAB’s application portal.

Deadline: 18-September-2020
