This document is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Small Business Transition Grant for New Entrepreneurs (R43/R44 Clinical Trial Required) program issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The objective of this NOFO is to facilitate the career development and transition of investigators new to entrepreneurship with an interest in small business by supporting their entrepreneurial development and the conduct of research and development under their direction. Eligible applicants are small business concerns (SBCs) that will employ and develop researchers as entrepreneurial Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs). Key features include entrepreneurial training, mentoring, and career development for the PD/PI, as well as support for scientific research staff and research and development efforts at the SBC. Optimal PDs/PIs have strong research, technology development, and/or healthcare delivery skills and experience, but limited entrepreneurial and independent research project leadership experience. This NOFO is assigned to multiple federal grant programs under the Department of Health and Human Services, including programs related to lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, translation and implementation science, alcohol and drug abuse research, child health, deafness and communication disorders, nursing, occupational safety, medical libraries, blood diseases, the human genome, complementary and integrative health, aging, vision, and sleep disorders.
