Small businesses can submit Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I, Direct to Phase II, and Fast-Track grant applications. The objective of SBIR and STTR Phase I is to establish the technical merit and feasibility of the proposed research, while Phase II aims to advance the technology towards commercialization. The funding opportunity is open until May 31, 2024, and interested applicants can find more information on the grants.gov website. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity include addressing barriers to setting up eConsult services, conducting outreach and education, and providing eConsults. Solutions of interest include technologies for transmitting and managing eConsult requests, artificial intelligence or machine learning solutions for triaging and creating responses, and services or products for managing the administration and education of eConsult services. The ultimate goal is to reduce costs, time, and increase access to regional genomic medicine eConsult services.
