This funding opportunity supports small businesses that have completed a Phase II SBIR or STTR award in advancing clinical trials and research projects for medical products, particularly those requiring federal regulatory approval, while encouraging partnerships with investors to ensure commercial viability.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that will help improve diabetes prevention and management for underserved populations by offering expertise, training, and resources to enhance health equity.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to institutions with active Clinical and Translational Science Awards to develop innovative programs that address critical challenges in clinical research and improve the efficiency of translating scientific discoveries into practical applications.

This funding opportunity supports U.S.-based small businesses in developing and manufacturing therapeutic extracellular vesicles for regenerative medicine applications, focusing on tissue and organ repair.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for innovative research projects aimed at understanding the neurological and mental health effects of chronic illnesses linked to infections, such as Long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome, encouraging studies that explore their underlying mechanisms.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hereby notify Small Business Concerns (SBCs) holding Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants that funds are available for administrative supplements to improve the diversity of the research workforce by recruiting and supporting students, postdoctorates, and eligible investigators from groups that have been shown to be nationally underrepresented in health-related research or in the SBIR and STTR programs. This supplement opportunity is also available to PD(s)/PI(s) of research grants who are or become disabled and need additional support to accommodate their disability in order to continue to work on the research project. Administrative supplements must support work within the scope of the original project. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed specifically for applicants proposing research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or an ancillary study to a clinical trial. Applicants to this FOA are permitted to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a mentor or co-mentor.

This funding opportunity supports community hospitals and oncology practices in expanding access to cancer research and clinical trials for diverse populations, focusing on participant recruitment and insights into local care disparities.

This funding opportunity supports researchers exploring innovative strategies to achieve long-lasting HIV remission at the start of antiretroviral therapy, focusing on basic and preclinical studies rather than clinical trials.

This funding opportunity supports small businesses in developing innovative informatics tools that enhance the use and accessibility of the human pangenome reference for genomic research and clinical applications.

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to support early-career academic scientists interested in transitioning to entrepreneurship while also supporting the transfer of technology from academic laboratories into small businesses. Both small businesses and universities are drivers of technological innovation in the United States (U.S.), often working together to advance innovative ideas into products that can benefit the U.S. population. While most NIH funding supports basic research in university laboratories, the NIH also supports innovative technology development in U.S. small businesses through its SBIR and STTR programs. As technologies transition from academic discovery to small businesses, two common challenges arise, identifying the right team with the right expertise to take the product into a small business, and funding for early-stage technology development. This NOFO seeks to address both challenges simultaneously by having two equally important goals: entrepreneurial mentoring support, and product development support.

This funding opportunity supports institutions in training clinical scientists focused on cancer research, enabling them to lead or participate in clinical trials as part of their career development.

This grant provides funding for research and development projects aimed at improving the equipment and support systems for U.S. Army soldiers, focusing on enhancing their survivability, mobility, and overall effectiveness in the field.
