    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites applications for Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants aimed at developing FDA-regulated medical products for opioid use disorders (OUD) and stimulant use disorders (StUD). The funding opportunity emphasizes the urgency of addressing the escalating drug crisis, which has resulted in significant mortality. The STTR program comprises three phases: Phase I focuses on establishing the technical viability of research proposals, Phase II continues the development aimed at commercialization, and the Fast Track allows simultaneous submission for both phases. The program encourages innovation in two key areas: pharmacotherapeutics and medical devices. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based small businesses meeting specific criteria. The total available funding is approximately $2 million for 3-7 awards, with stipulations on award amounts and project durations. This opportunity aims not only to advance research and development but also to enhance treatment options for patients affected by OUD and StUD, contributing to public health and improving lives within the community impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis.
