    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and specifically the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is offering a funding opportunity titled "Catalyze: Product Definition Device Prototype Design and Testing." This initiative focuses on the early-stage translational support necessary for developing prototypes and diagnostic tools aimed at treating heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) diseases. The funding follows a phased approach consisting of R61 and R33 stages, where R61 supports initial prototype development and R33 provides further development based on achieved milestones. Up to $6.3 million will be allocated annually, funding 13 new awards per year, with non-Federal matching contributions expected for the R33 phase. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, non-profits, for-profits, and certain government entities. Importantly, the FOA explicitly does not fund clinical trial research. Applications will undergo a peer-review process to assess scientific merit, innovation, and relevance to HLBS diseases, with awarded projects anticipated to progress toward regulatory approval processes post-funding. The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to expedite the translation of scientific discoveries into effective medical applications, emphasizing collaboration with accelerator partners for enhanced project viability.
