The NIH SBIR/STTR program has $1.3 Billion in seed funding available to small businesses to support R&D efforts. Pursuing these funds can be daunting, but CTC is here to help by providing programming and events to educate and advise.
NIH offers non-dilutive funding and resources to help small businesses advance and commercialize promising research technologies. If you are a researcher and are interested in bringing your innovations to market, you may be eligible to apply to the NIH SBIR and STTR programs and shouldn’t miss the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Cancer Insitute (NCI) in collaboration with Wisconsin’s CTC and BioForward’s Women in Biohealth for a webinar on small business funding opportunities. Join us Wednesday, August 30, 2023 from 12:00 –1:30 p.m. CT.
You’ll learn more about NCATS, NHLBI, NIA & NCI key research focus areas, tips for submitting a successful application, upcoming funding opportunities and other specific resources and programs. Then ask questions during a dedicated Q&A session.
