What is GCC REACH?
The Gulf Coast Consortia Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (GCC REACH) is a unique, multi-institutional resource based in the Texas Medical Center, operated in partnership with Texas A&M Health Science Center.
The Mission:
GCC REACH bridges the gap between academia and industry by supporting academic innovators as they navigate the complexities of commercializing biomedical innovations.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome applications from faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, students, and clinicians engaged in biomedical R&D from any Texas-based academic institution.
Eligible Projects:
If your innovation has the potential to impact healthcare—whether it’s a therapeutic, diagnostic, medical device, or digital health solution—we are here to help. GCC REACH provides guidance, mentorship, and resources to take these innovations from research to reality.
Applicant Presentations:
Technology Feedback Forums (TFFs) are offered to each applicant and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. These 30-minute sessions will run from March 4 through April 22 and will be hosted twice weekly on Wednesdays.
