Description

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the Blueprint Medtech: Small Business Translator (U44 - Clinical Trial Optional) program. This program aims to support the development of cutting-edge medical devices for diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system. The program provides non-dilutive funds, as well as resources and support services such as planning resources, access to translational services and expertise, assistance from consultants, and advice from industry experts. The goal is to accelerate patient access to safe and effective medical devices. The program follows a two-phase approach, with Phase I supporting non-clinical translational device activities and Phase II supporting a clinical study. The total project period, including both phases, must not exceed five years. Projects should focus on disorders within the mission of participating NIH Blueprint Institutes and Centers and should either be close to the final system or require early feasibility clinical data. The program encourages applications from diverse teams, including socially and economically disadvantaged persons and women-owned small businesses. The application due dates are specified in the solicitation document. For more information, refer to the SBIR topic link and the solicitation agency URL.

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.

Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network (BPN) program. This program focuses on small molecule drug discovery and development for disorders of the nervous system. The goal is to facilitate drug discovery and development by offering funding to neuroscience researchers for activities that can be conducted in their own laboratories. Researchers have the opportunity to collaborate with NIH-funded consultants and contract research organizations (CROs) specializing in various aspects of drug development. The Principal Investigator (PI) will be responsible for conducting disease- or target-specific assays and models, and can collaborate with BPN contractors on various activities. Each funded project will have a customized Lead Development Team (LDT) consisting of the PI, BPN consultants, and NIH staff. The LDT will establish an overall strategy for the project and coordinate activities across different research sites. The program is open for applications until August 19, 2026, and more information can be found on the grants.gov website.
