Description

The Department of Health and Human Services is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program. The program aims to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector and strengthen the role of small businesses in meeting federal research and development needs. Specifically, the SBIR program under the Administration for Community Living focuses on improving the lives of people with disabilities through research and development products generated by small businesses.

The Phase II projects build upon the results of Phase I projects and aim to further develop the technology or research. The projects funded by NIDILRR, the agency under the SBIR program, must address the needs of people with disabilities and promote their health and function, community living, or employment outcomes.

Under this opportunity, NIDILRR will make four grants with a 24-month project period divided into two 12-month budget periods. The funding specifics and performance goals can be found in the solicitation notice on grants.gov. The application due date for this solicitation is March 5, 2024.

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for advancing research on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) through their Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The goal of this funding opportunity is to encourage research and commercialization of novel therapies, devices, products, and healthcare programs to prevent the onset of AD/ADRD and reduce the burden on individuals, families, and society. The research areas of interest include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care, tools, and technology. Examples of specific topics include behavioral interventions, diagnostic screening tests, drug development, in-home technologies, and tools for monitoring cognitive function. The solicitation is open until September 8, 2025, with multiple application due dates throughout the year. More information can be found on the grants.gov and NIH websites.
Seeking Products to Address Social Needs impacting Substance Use Disorders (SUD) (R43/R44 Clinical Trial Optional)

Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the development of technologies to address health-related social needs that impact substance use disorders (SUD), excluding alcohol use disorder. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support small business concerns in developing technologies for commercialization that can fill the service gaps in addressing SUD. The research objectives include developing products that reduce costs, time, and increase access in addressing health-related social needs such as housing instability, non-medical transportation, food insecurity, utility needs, and personal safety. The technologies can include physical devices, digital services, software, or non-physical/non-tangible products. The funding opportunity is open for applications until March 14, 2026, and offers both Phase I and Phase II funding options. Phase I focuses on establishing technical merit and feasibility, while Phase II aims to advance technologies towards commercialization. Applicants are encouraged to review the guidelines and adhere to the requirements applicable to their research.

Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the NIAID SBIR Phase II Clinical Trial Implementation Cooperative Agreement (U44 Clinical Trial Required). This solicitation encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to implement investigator-initiated clinical trials, including mechanistic studies associated with clinical trials. The program supports milestone-driven, hypothesis-driven clinical trials related to the research mission of the NIAID that address high-priority research areas. The solicitation encourages high-risk clinical studies, which involve non-routine interventions, administration of unlicensed products, or administration of licensed products for unapproved indications. Mechanistic studies are also encouraged. The funding supports the conduct, completion, and analysis of a single clinical trial, including activities such as training of study personnel, enrollment and recruitment of study subjects, data collection and management, laboratory work, study management and oversight, safety monitoring, and regulatory activities. The project duration is not specified, but the solicitation is open until January 14, 2027. The funding specifics can be found on the grants.nih.gov website.

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.
