The FY2022-1 Small Business Innovation Research Contract (SBIR) Program solicitation has been posted!

 

“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) invite small business concerns (SBCs) to submit research proposals under this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Contract Solicitation. Firms with the capability to conduct research and development (R&D) in any of the health-related topic areas described in Section 12.0, and to commercialize the results of that R&D, are encouraged to participate.”

Please see link above for specific solicitations.

Contract funding is very different from grant funding, and a project needs to be a very (very) good fit to pursue this mechanism. NIAID offers a useful resource to compare differences between grants and contracts – although written specifically for NIAID, these guidelines generally apply across NIH contracts.
