December 2 Webinar on Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program Funding
A December 2 webinar will provide information about how the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program can assist
small business grant awardees with later stage technology development. Matthew
Portnoy, Ph.D., NIH SBIR/STTR Program Coordinator, and Stephanie Fertig,
SBIR/STTR Program Manager at the National Institute for Neurological Disorders
and Stroke, will discuss a recently announced NIH CRP Technical Assistance
funding opportunity available to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grantees. CRP Technical Assistance
funding may support activities not typically supported through Phase II or
Phase IIB grants or contracts. Only United States small business concerns with
active or recent Phase II or Phase IIB awards are eligible for this finding.
