Description

The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are seeking proposals for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract proposals. The specific topic of the solicitation is "Cancer Prevention and Treatment Clinical Trials Tools for Recruitment and Retention of Diverse Populations".

The goal of this solicitation is to address the slow and incomplete accrual of diverse participants in cancer prevention and treatment clinical trials, which hampers drug development and medical progress. The solicitation aims to develop innovative tools that enhance recruitment, retention, and adherence to clinical trials. These tools should improve communication between study staff and participants, build long-term trusted relationships, improve the study participation experience, and reduce the burden of clinical trials for both staff and participants.

The solicitation accepts Fast-Track proposals and Direct-to-Phase II proposals. The anticipated number of awards is 3-5. The budget for Phase I is up to $400,000 for up to 12 months, and for Phase II, it is up to $2,000,000 for up to 2 years. Proposals that exceed the budget or project duration may not be funded.

This topic aligns with the Cancer Moonshot Blue Ribbon Panel recommendation to establish a network for direct patient engagement. The solicitation is closed, and the application due date was November 14, 2023. More information can be found on the SBIR topic link (https://www.sbir.gov/node/2451721) and the solicitation agency URL (https://sam.gov/opp/aa72581c848947f0b61c15062e604862/view).

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 (R43/R44 Clinical Trial Required) topic. 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 solicitation is open until September 6, 2026, and more information can be found at the provided links.
