Our first piece of advice to applicants: connect with NIH Institute and Center scientific program officers early as you prepare your application! These conversations help applicants better understand program priorities and determine whether their proposed project is a strong fit. Applicants can also explore NIH’s online calendar of Small Business events – including opportunities to speak one-on-one with program staff. Additional resources – including sample applications, company registration guidance, and application support materials – are available on the NIH Small Business website. Start with resources online and then join us live on June 9!
NIH looks forward to receiving strong applications from small businesses developing bold, high-impact technologies with the potential to improve health and save lives.
