About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are forecasting a Notice of Funding Opportunity to invite eligible United States small business concerns to submit Small Business Innovation Research Phase I and Fast-Track grant applications for the Small Business Transition Grant for early-career scientists transitioning into entrepreneurship, with applications not currently being solicited but notice provided to allow sufficient time for project development. Only United States small business concerns as defined by the Small Business Administration are eligible; the Principal Investigator must be a first-time PD/PI who has never served as an independent PD/PI on an NIH, CDC, or corresponding non-NIH peer-reviewed research grant and must be a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. Key personnel must include a mentor with measurable effort committed to the project. This opportunity utilizes the R43/R44 activity code and supports early-career entrepreneurship development alongside research and development efforts through mandatory entrepreneurial training, mentoring, and career development components for the PD/PI. The NOFO will be cross-posted under multiple parent grant programs including Lung Diseases Research (CFDA 93.838), Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837), Translation and Implementation Science Research for Heart, Lung, Blood Diseases and Sleep Disorders (CFDA 93.840), and related NHLBI and CDC mission areas. Applications will be reviewed for scientific and technical merit by appropriate scientific peer review panels and national advisory councils, competing on the basis of scientific merit, commercial potential, program relevance, and program balance. No specific award ceiling, floor, period of performance, or application deadline is stated in this forecast announcement.

This opportunity is available to first-time Principal Investigators, and key personnel must include a mentor with measurable effort committed to the project.
