Additional Information on Eligibility:
Description: Purpose. This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act or ARRA), Public Law 111-5, invites grant applications from small business concerns that propose to accelerate innovation through high risk, high reward research and development (R and D) that has commercial potential and is relevant to the mission of the NIH. The Small Business Catalyst Award is further expected to support entrepreneurs of exceptional creativity, drawn from scientific and technological environments beyond NIH, who propose pioneering and possibly transformative approaches to addressing major biomedical or behavioral challenges with the potential for downstream commercial development. The Small Business Catalyst Award for Accelerating Innovative Research funding opportunity seeks to encourage fresh research perspectives and approaches to serve the mission of NIH. In particular, applications from small business concerns without a history of NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) support may receive funding priority. Solicited are applications for support for projects that have the potential to generate high impact results (e.g., products, processes or services) and/or innovative research applications, research tools, techniques, devices, inventions, or methodologies. The outcomes of the research supported should have potential to lead to products that will improve public health and create significant value and economic stimulus. This FOA solicits early-stage ideas that promise to lead to major leaps forward in capabilities important to serving the mission of NIH rather than incremental improvements of existing technologies. In accord with the funding priority of this initiative to attract applicants without a history of SBIR/STTR support from NIH, the focus of the projects solicited by this FOA is on early stage technology development.
