    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant, specifically R41/R42, aimed at developing innovative devices for the detection of new and existing drugs. The funding opportunity encourages applications from small business concerns (SBCs) focused on creating cost-effective, user-friendly technologies that can detect drugs at the point-of-need, such as emergency departments or harm reduction centers. The devices should utilize target-agnostic methods, offering greater sensitivity and selectivity than traditional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which is often too costly and complex for widespread use. Key research areas include developing devices that require minimal training and consumables, achieving sensitivity for detecting drugs in bodily fluids like urine, blood, and sweat within an hour. The notification also outlines application procedures, eligibility requirements, and deadlines, with a total of $3 million available to fund approximately four to seven projects. Successful projects are expected to advance drug detection capabilities and bring innovative technologies to the market, fostering public health through improved drug awareness and timely response to emerging threats. Applications are encouraged to avoid using stigmatizing language regarding substance use disorders, adhering to preferred terms recommended by NIH.
