Translate your early-stage ideas to first-in-human prototypes

NeuroTech Harbor is seeking high-potential, high-risk medical device solutions that focus on diagnosis, prevention, treatment, management, or delay of onset of a neurological condition. Whether you have an early-stage idea or an advanced proof-of-concept project, we help take it to the next level.

NeuroTech Harbor (NTH) is a partnership between Johns Hopkins University and Howard University, and projects to spend between $30-$50M to launch 45 new neurological health innovation projects over the next 5 years.

Neurotech Harbor is the Nation’s first Equitech ecosystem for neuromedical solutions. The Equitech approach supports inclusive medical technologies that are designed and developed to meet the diverse needs of all individuals, regardless of their abilities, disabilities, or cultural backgrounds. Inclusive medical technologies promote equity, accessibility, and inclusivity in healthcare.
