Join the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for an overview of NIH-wide aspects of the federal SBIR/STTR programs, and to discuss NCI-specific aspects of these programs. Each NIH Institute manages SBIR/STTR programs differently and here’s your chance to hear from the experts. During this program, you’ll learn about the nuances of research funding for small businesses in the form of Phase I, II, IIB, and Fast-Track grants, and of Phase I, II, and Fast-Track SBIR contracts. The NCI Phase IIB Bridge grant is a matching fund program that leverages private sector investment. You’ll also have a chance to learn about resources other than research funding to aid commercialization of products by small businesses, including mentorship in commercialization organized by product type, I-Corps entrepreneurship training, assistance with private sector fundraising, and with FDA interactions on regulatory strategies. After the presentation, there will be a fireside chat and opportunity for audience Q&A with both speakers.

Following the program, selected companies will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with either speaker. To be considered for a one-on-one meeting, please apply by April 13th, 2023.
