  1. Identifying Funding Opportunities Kay Etzler NIH SBIR/STTR Program 11th Annual NIH SBIR/STTR Conference Omaha, NE June 30 & July 1

  2. Funding Opportunities • SBIR/STTR Grants • SBIR Contracts • Recovery Act • Non-SBIR/STTR NIH Funding Opportunities • Other Agency SBIR/STTR Opportunities

  3. Our Ideas … SBIR/STTR Omnibus Solicitation (NIH, CDC, and FDA) Release: January April 5, Aug 5, Dec 5 receipt dates NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Release: Weekly Various receipt dates 3. SBIR Contract Solicitation (NIH, CDC) Release: August Early November receipt date

  4. Your Ideas … Investigator-initiated R&D • Research projects related to the NIH mission • “Other” areas of research within the mission of an awarding component

  5. DUE DATES: April 5 August 5 December 5 SBIR/STTR Omnibus Grant Solicitation • SBIR Parent Funding Opportunity Announcement (PA-09-080) • STTR Parent Funding Opportunity Announcement  (PA-09-081) • SBIR/STTR Program Descriptions and Research Topics NIH (23 ICs) – SBIR & STTR FDA – SBIR only CDC – SBIR only

  6. SBIR & STTR Parent FOAs PA-09-080 SBIR Parent FOA PA-09-081 STTR Parent FOA • Participating Agencies and/or ICs • Objectives and Scientific Scope • Executive Summary • Application Submission, Review, Selection Dates • Funding and Project Duration Limits • Eligibility Criteria • Submission Info (specifics in application instruction guide) • Registration Requirements – Section IV • Review Criteria and Considerations • Contact Information – Section VII

  18. Other SBIR/STTR Initiatives (PAs & RFAs)

  19. What you know so far… • Identify: • Suggested topics and missions • Possible FOAs • Possible Institute/Center(s) • Point(s) of contact Omnibus Grant Solicitation Targeted Announcements

  20. Identifying Institute/Centers Search Previous Awards CRISPComputer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects

  21. http://report.nih.gov/crisp/index.aspx

  22. 17 hits 11 different ICs

  23. What does this tell you? • Possible ICs to target • Fit with IC suggested topic? • Fit an IC’s mission? • Potential collaborators/partners Our idea Your idea NEXT STEP?Get on the phone!

  24. SBIRContract OpportunitiesPHS 2009-1

  25. SBIR ContractSolicitation Receipt Date: Early November Closed • SBIR Only • NIH & CDC – Various ICs • Narrowly-focused Topics http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/sbir.htm

  26. Contract Topic – Narrowly Focused NIDA seeks the development and application of a data warehouse solution that accommodates the Institute’s needs for a comprehensive, flexible, and adaptable solution for the storage, indexing, and annotation of various high-throughput microarrays for genome-wide transcriptional profiling and polymorphism analysis. The solution sought will serve as a key component in support of pharmacogenomics analysis in investigational drug research. The requirements gathering will focus on needs for geographically dispersed researchers to load data remotely, specify experiments through user-friendly client interfaces, and preserve well-annotated experiments in an unsummarized raw data format that maintains data points obtainable from those microarrays. The warehouse should allow for the export of analyses in a number of common data formats, such as .csv and .txt, to facilitate further study of the data in third-party software tools. NIDA will consider deployed installations as well as application service provider solutions operated at contractor locations.

  27. SBIR ContractSolicitation (con’t) • Respond to topic as written • Submission Instructions & Forms • Paper submissions only • Submit to IC-specific Contracting Officer • Communicate only with Contracting Officer
