NHLBI SBIR Phase IIB Small Market Awards to Accelerate the Commercialization of Technologies for Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep Disorders and Diseases (R44 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-19-018 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the NHLBI SBIR Phase IIB Small Market Award is to provide support to Phase II SBIR or STTR awardees that are developing NHLBI mission-related products that address a rare disease or young pediatric populations. The goal of this FOA is for these products to be further validated so that development can continue with private funding after NHLBI support ends. Applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan that includes details on any independent third-party funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than one-third of the NHLBI funds being requested throughout the project period. Projects proposed in response to this FOA must require eventual Federal regulatory approval/clearance, and may address preclinical and/or clinical stages of technology development. Clinical trials may be proposed as appropriate, but are not required.
