The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) cooperative agreement grant to support the development of Miniaturization and Automation of Tissue Chip Systems (MATChS). This grant is for the purpose of fostering research and development of innovative tools and turnkey technologies. Projects should focus on achieving higher throughput automated measures, incorporating on-line sensing, and facilitating rapid data acquisition and analysis to minimize manual handling. Funded initiatives aim to increase the availability of miniaturized automated tissue chip platforms, serving as crucial major research tools for drug development and diverse biomedical research applications. Small Business Concerns (SBCs) awarded this cooperative agreement will collaborate with NIH staff, developing clear milestones and benchmarks to ensure progress towards commercializing these automated systems.

| Description: | This NOFO provides support using the STTR cooperative agreement mechanisms for the development of MATChS. Applications considered responsive to this would include those proposing research and development of tools and turnkey technologies for higher throughput automated measures with on-line sensing, rapid acquisition and analysis of data to reduce manual handling. Funded projects will result in an increased availability of miniaturized automated tissue chip platforms for use in drug development and across multiple applications as a major research tool in biomedical research laboratories. As a cooperative agreement, small business concerns (SBCs) will be expected to develop milestones and benchmarks, and work with NIH staff towards progress in the aims of the project to develop an automated system and demonstrable pathways to commercialization. |
