The I-Corps™ at NIH program, supported by President Obama’s Strategy for American
Innovation, aims to support biomedical innovation
and translation, with the goal of expediting the development and
commercialization of a range of technologies to address the leading causes of
death and disability in the United States. I-Corps™ participants will
receive lessons on how to build a scalable business model as well as
entrepreneurial trainings, and mentorship opportunities. In addition,
modest funding will be provided to teams to assist them in translating their
ideas from the lab into a viable product on the market and to help them avoid
common failure points.
NHLBI Small Business
programs support the development of new technologies from lab to market.
The NIH will host a webinar on
the I-Corps™ at NIH program to provide information about the program,
eligibility, benefits, and how to apply. Participants will also be offered an
opportunity to engage with program leaders. Registration for the webinar is
free, but required.

The FOA aims to facilitate
the transition of SBIR and STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization
stage by providing additional support for technical assistance not typically
supported through Phase II or Phase IIB grants or contracts. This may include
preparation of documents for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submission,
development of an intellectual property strategy and/or planning for a clinical
trial. Although a significant amount of the work in a CRP award may be
subcontracted to other institutions, the SBC is expected to maintain oversight
and management of the R&D throughout the award. NHLBI will support requests
up to $50,000 for Phase II awardees. The Commercialization Readiness Pilot
(CRP) Program will fund activities not traditionally allowed in SBIR/STTR
grants.
