Featured Funding Opportunities and Grant Assistance:

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has just released the 2017 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Omnibus Grant Solicitations! These solicitations will be used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Note STTR is only available at NIH. You can read more in NOT-OD-17-070: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-070.html.

The HHS SBIR and STTR Omnibus grant solicitations permit researcher-initiated topics around health, medicine and life science to be submitted for funding consideration. With any specific idea, you should speak directly with a HHS SBIR/STTR program manager around a month BEFORE the deadline to gauge their interest (https://sbir.nih.gov/engage/ic-contacts).

NIH Matchmaker (http://bit.ly/1PdBQJt) can be used to conduct keyword searches of a particular topic area to identify NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) that have previously funded research in that area. Applicants can also search the 2017 Program Descriptions and Research Topics (https://sbir.nih.gov/sites/default/files/2017-2_SBIR-STTR-topics.pdf) document to identify priority research areas of ICs, or email sbir@od.nih.gov for an SBIR/STTR program manager referral. 

The 2017 SBIR/STTR Omnibus solicitations and accompanying resources can be found below:

Standard Application Due Dates: September 5, 2017 and January 5, 2018*

*This FOA is being issued with limited due dates to accommodate the transition from FORMS-D to FORMS-E application packages. This FOA will be reissued for additional due date(s) on or after January 25, 2018.*

HHS expects to re-issue these Omnibus after the January 5, 2018 due date.

Small business concerns that are majority-owned by multiple venture capital operating companies (VCOCs), hedge funds and/or private equity firms CONTINUE TO BE ELIGIBLE to apply to the CDC and NIH SBIR program and compete for up to 15% and 25% respectively of each agency's SBIR set-aside.

An informational webinar will occur on Thursday June 29, 2017 at 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM EDT.
