Phase I Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) Program Launches for 2022-2023


Hello,

The NIH TABA Program helps small businesses identify and address their most pressing product development needs. The Needs Assessment Report provides a FREE, third party, unbiased assessment of your project’s progress in 4 technical and business areas that are critical to success in the competitive healthcare marketplace:

  • Market Needs/Competitive Advantage
  • Intellectual Property/Barriers to Entry
  • Business Model Profitability
  • Manufacturing, Regulatory, and/or Clinical Plan

Your company is eligible to participate if your Phase I NIH SBIR or STTR (grant, contract, or Fast-Track)

  • Is active or was active within the past two years AND
  • Was not awarded TABA funding within the Phase I award budget AND
  • Has not already received a TABA Needs Assessment Report or NICHE Assessment for the same Phase I project

TABA Needs Assessment Report requests are considered on a monthly basis to ensure that companies receive timely guidance. Learn more about the program and submit your request to participate today!

Please note, selection is not guaranteed. The TABA Needs Assessment is performed by RTI Innovation Advisors through a contract with the NIH.
