Description

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for solutions to enable regional clinician-to-clinician genomic medicine eConsult services. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to develop products or technologies that will support the development and sustainment of eConsult services in the field of genomic medicine. Small businesses can submit Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I and Fast-Track grant applications. The main objectives of the SBIR and STTR Phase I are to establish the technical merit and feasibility of the proposed research and development efforts. The Phase II continues the R&D efforts to advance the technology toward commercialization. The funding opportunity is open for applications until May 31, 2024. The specific objectives include addressing barriers to setting up eConsult services, conducting outreach and education about eConsult services, and providing eConsults. Solutions of interest include technologies that allow diverse Electronic Health Record systems to transmit and manage eConsult requests, artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions for triaging and creating responses, services or technologies for managing the administration of eConsult services, and educational products for providers. The funding opportunity is part of a larger initiative to establish the Genomic Medicine eConsult Research Network. Data sharing is expected, and applicants are encouraged to align their data sets using the FAIR Guiding Principles. A pre-application webinar will be held on February 6, 2024, to provide an overview of the funding opportunity and answer questions.

Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for addressing health inequities in clinical diagnostics. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage small businesses to develop improved or alternative clinical diagnostics that incorporate diverse patient groups and eliminate health disparities. The research should focus on identifying and addressing issues within clinical diagnostics that perpetuate health inequity. The projects may involve existing clinical diagnostics or propose new ones. Applicants are encouraged to consider social determinants of health during the development process and include input from relevant populations that experience health disparities. The funding opportunity accepts different types of projects, including those that address pigment variation in imaging devices, utilize equitable parameters instead of non-biological parameters like race, improve analytics or bioinformatics, develop clinical decision support tools, validate new technology, or further develop existing technology. The funding is available through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, with Phase I and Phase II funding options. The open date for applications is March 5, 2024, and the close date is January 6, 2027.

Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the NINDS Exploratory Clinical Trials for Small Business (R41/R42 Clinical Trial Required). This solicitation aims to support small business concerns (SBCs) in conducting exploratory clinical trials that contribute to the justification for future trials to establish definitive efficacy. The trials can include Phase 1 and 2 studies of drugs and biologics, feasibility and preliminary efficacy studies of devices, as well as early studies of surgical, behavioral, or rehabilitation therapies. The trials can be single-site or multi-site with up to three clinical sites. The applications must generate data that inform further clinical development of the proposed intervention or diagnostic, and FDA approval is required for FDA-regulated clinical trials. The goal is to advance products/technologies that require federal regulatory approval or bring complex research tools to market. The funding opportunity is open until September 6, 2026.
