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.
