SBIR and STTR Phase I
grantees are invited to join the I-Corps™ at NIH program. Part of President Obama’s Strategy for American Innovation, I-Corps™ at NIH aims to support biomedical
innovation and translation, with the goal of expediting the development and
commercialization of technologies that address the leading causes of death and
disability in the United States. I-Corps™ participants will
receive capacity building and entrepreneurial training, mentorship
opportunities, and modest funding to assist in translating ideas from the lab
into a viable product on the market and help avoid common failure points.
For more information or questions on the I-Corps™ at NIH program, please visit http://sbir.cancer.gov/icorps/, watch
the archived webinar from November, or contact:
