Month: September 2009

Don’t miss your opportunity to apply for the 2009-2010 Commercialization Assistance Program (CAP), designed to help selected NIH SBIR Phase II awardees develop their commercial businesses and transition their SBIR-funded technologies into the marketplace.

• Has your company had an active NIH SBIR Phase II award within the past six (6) years?
• Does your company meet current SBIR small business eligibility criteria?

If you answered “yes” to both of these questions, then read on! The application deadline is September 14, 2009.

NIH welcomes proposals for 2010 NIH Director’s Pioneer Awards and New Innovator Awards. Both programs are part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research http://nihroadmap.nih.gov and support exceptionally creative scientists who take highly innovative, potentially high-impact approaches to major challenges in biomedical or behavioral research.

This is an excellent opportunity for researchers who have incurred significant financial debt to remove this barrier to continue to pursue a career in research. The 2010 application cycle opens September 1 and closes December 1. Our data show that individuals, who begin preparing their application early, are more likely to complete their submission by the December 1 deadline.
