The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics

CTIP is an FDA funded medical device accelerator supporting pediatric device innovators from concept to commercialization

Who We Are

The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP) is a pediatric medical device accelerator based at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). Founded in 2011, CTIP has been funded by the U.S. FDA Pediatric Device Consortia (PDC) grant program since 2013. 

With our robust network of hospitals and partners, CTIP promotes the development and commercialization of pediatric medical devices by engaging and coordinating key players in MedTech to guide and support device development.

Over the past ten years, our network has grown from local to national membership, with 25 institutions across eight states participating in the current 2023-2028 cycle.
