    Description

    The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, is seeking proposals for the late-stage translation of biomedical and behavioral research results in arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases from academic/non-profit labs to the marketplace. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant opportunity aims to support the development of diagnostic tools, prevention tools, and treatments for these diseases. The focus is on moving lab technologies towards commercial dissemination through partnerships and close collaboration between small businesses and the original developers of the technologies. The research objectives include late-stage pre-clinical studies on technology or therapy feasibility, as well as studies required for regulatory approval before clinical testing. Clinical trials are excluded from this opportunity. The research topics of interest include the development of therapies, innovative drug delivery strategies, biomarker studies, outcome measures and methodologies, and 3D human tissue models. Collaboration between academic/non-profit labs and small businesses is encouraged, with the academic/non-profit labs performing a portion of the project. The proposal should include milestones with quantitative success criteria to measure the progress and efficacy of the project. Applications that do not originate from academic/non-profit labs or propose intervention studies are not responsive to this opportunity. The grant is open for applications until September 6, 2025.

    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 addressing health inequities in clinical diagnostics through their Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to encourage small businesses to develop improved or alternative clinical diagnostics that address health disparities created by clinical laboratory assays and point-of-care devices that fail to incorporate diverse patient groups. The goal is to develop clinical diagnostics that are accessible to populations that experience health disparities and to eliminate health inequities. The research objectives include developing clinical diagnostics that meet or exceed the quality of existing diagnostics, considering social determinants of health during the development process, and including input from relevant populations that experience health disparities. The funding opportunity accepts various types of projects, such as novel technologies addressing known issues in existing diagnostics, projects addressing health inequities in analytics or bioinformatics, and pilot or small-scale projects validating new technology. The funding is available for both Phase I and Phase II projects, with the option for a Fast Track application. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office, and the National Human Genome Research Institute are also participating in this funding opportunity.
