This is a question we get asked
regularly! As a general rule - if you are developing a biomedical
technology the answer will be yes, BUT, you can verify this for yourself! There is a searchable database of science award
information from 17 federal funding agencies, including NIH, FDA, CDC, and
NSF. The database (Federal RePORTER) is updated annually and
includes information for ~900,000 projects.
NIH
has also developed the NIH RePORTER database which includes a “Matchmaker” tab. If you enter your specific
aims or project summary you will find similar projects that have been
funded by the NIH, which institutes funded those projects, which study sections
reviewed them, and potential collaborators or SBIR/STTR-funded
companies in your subject or geographic area to ask for advice.
NIH is updating application forms to FORMS-E for
due dates of Jan 25, 2018 and beyond. FORMS-E includes a brand new form. Check
it out using the resources below.

The Use
of Real-World Evidence to Support Regulatory Decision-Making for Medical
Devices guidance document explains various regulatory methods on how the
FDA plans to evaluate and determine if Real-World Data (RWD) may be sufficient
for use in regulatory decisions and when an Investigational Device Exemption
(IDE) may be needed to determine the safety and effectiveness of a device without
changing the evidentiary standards used to make those decisions.
Check out the National
Evaluation System for health Technology (NEST) for more details.
