Scientific Entrepreneurial Training

The National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute seeks to provide Scientific Entrepreneurial Training through a forthcoming solicitation. The training program aims to develop skills in biomedical research commercialization and technology transfer among postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. Proposals must demonstrate expertise in translating biomedical discoveries into medical applications or public health solutions. Evaluation will consider the qualifications and experience of leadership, the comprehensive nature of proposed training activities, and the potential to advance participants' entrepreneurial and commercialization capabilities. The deadline for questions is July 1, 2022.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. The anticipated NAICS code is 611430, with PSC code U002. As the incumbent, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering will likely compete for continued delivery of this program. The previous period of performance consisted of a 5-year, $5 million training program. Participation was limited to 10 fellows and faculty annually receiving individual awards up to $100,000 each.
