The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Small Business Applicant Assistance Program (AAP) Cycle Two will open for your applications on January 11, 2021 at 10 a.m. Eastern time.
This cycle of the program is for the SBIR/STTR April 5, 2021 submission deadline. We recommend that you plan to apply for the AAP right after the application opens since this program typically fills quickly.
This program provides no cost support for companies planning to apply for a Phase II, Fast Track, or Direct-to-Phase II SBIR or STTR Award. NIAID encourages participation from small businesses that are owned or operated by individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in biomedical sciences, such as women-owned small businesses, socially/economically disadvantaged small businesses, and companies located within Historically Under-utilized Business (HUB) Zones.
Participants in the AAP will work one-on-one with a Senior Consultant from Foresight Science & Technology, who will help you prepare your proposal with services such as: Outlines and Checklist, Market data for Commercialization Plan, Review and Feedback on Commercialization Plan, Research Strategy, Budget, or Attachments.
To be eligible for the program, you must meet the following criteria:
- The research area of interest aligns with the mission of NIAID. You can read NIAID High-Priority Areas of Interest to help you determine if your application aligns with the mission of NIAID.
- The company intends to submit application for the April 5, 2021 deadline.
- The company intends to submit a Phase II, Fast Track, or Direct-to-Phase II application SBIR/STTR application. (Completion of the 5 required registrations is strongly recommended for all applicants)
- Phase II applicants must be within the first six receipt dates following the expiration of the Phase I budget period. Learn more about Phase II eligibility at Frequently Asked Questions in the Application Preparation & Submission section, “How long does a grantee have to submit the Phase II application after the Phase I project ends?”
- The company must be eligible to apply for NIH SBIR/STTR grants based on the NIH Small Business Eligibility Criteria.
If you meet these eligibility requirements and plan to apply for this program, submit your application through this Online AAP Application form on January 11, 2021 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Participation is limited to the first 25 qualified applicants.
Each company may submit only one application to the AAP.
