Applications for the Connecting Awardees with Regulatory Experts (CARE) Program are now being accepted. The CARE program provides SBIR/STTR-funded small businesses with an additional avenue for informal communications with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) about their technologies.
If you are in the early stages of developing a technology that will be regulated by FDA (or you are unsure) and have regulatory questions, consider taking advantage of this free opportunity to get feedback from the FDA.
Eligibility is open to NCI SBIR/STTR-funded small businesses that are developing potential technologies under the regulatory authority of FDA and to NHLBI SBIR/STTR-funded small businesses that are developing potential technologies under the regulatory authority of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
Applications are due Friday, March 10, and will be accepted on a first come, first-serve basis.
