The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the NIA Research and Entrepreneurial Development Immersion (REDI): Entrepreneurial Small Business Transition Award. This award aims to support the transition and experiential entrepreneurial career development of early-career scientists while providing funding for small business research and development activities. The goal is to facilitate the development and commercialization of academic technologies that address significant unmet needs, particularly in the field of neurodegenerative diseases and aging-based research. The award allows for both Phase I and Fast-track applications and emphasizes the importance of mentorship and entrepreneurship training. Eligibility is limited to early-career scientists, including late-stage graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, with a focus on individuals from diverse backgrounds. The proposed projects must align with the mission of the National Institute on Aging and fall within the scope of the traditional SBIR/STTR grant mechanisms. Applicants are encouraged to partner with existing NIH and other federal resources and programs to leverage entrepreneurial training activities. The application deadline is October 26, 2023.
