New funding opportunity from the National Institute of Health (NIH) relevant to recent I-Corps teams

calendar

Submission Date: Friday, December 22, 2017, 5p.m. ET
Winners Announced: Wednesday, February 7, 2018

Are you a biomedical scientist who believes that he/she has a research idea for a biotech start-up?

In addition to seeking fundamental knowledge, NIH’s mission also includes applying that knowledge from research to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. To help accomplish this mission, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recently re-issued the "$100,000 for Start a SUD Startup" Challenge.

The goal of this Challenge is to enable scientists to test the hypothesis that their research idea or fundamental research can be transformed into a biotech startup. Each Challenge winner will receive $10,000 to empower their research-based ideas and develop a minimal viable proof (MVP) of a product. If customers validate the project idea, winners are encouraged to create or further advance their biotech startup no later than 6 months after the prize is awarded. Post Challenge, NIDA staff will provide dedicated assistance and guidance about the NIH grant submission process, including submissions for the SBIR/STTR grants.
