The National Cancer Institute is offering SBIR Phase IIB Bridge Awards to small businesses for the development of cancer therapeutics, imaging technologies, diagnostics, and prognostics. This grant aims to support projects that have previously received Phase II funding from Federal agencies and assist in transitioning them to the commercialization stage. Emphasis is placed on fostering partnerships with third-party investors to facilitate the necessary steps for product commercialization. Projects may encompass preclinical and clinical technology development, with a focus on cancer relevance. A Commercialization Plan including details on third-party investor funding is required for submission. Clinical trials are optional. Closing date for applications is August 9, 2019.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that seek additional funding to support the next stage of development for projects that were previously funded under SBIR or STTR Phase II awards from any Federal agency. Projects proposed in response to this FOA must be applicable to one of the following areas: (1) cancer therapeutics; (2) cancer imaging technologies, interventional devices, and/or in vivo diagnostics; or (3) in vitro and ex vivo cancer diagnostics and prognostics. The purpose of this FOA is to facilitate the transition of SBIR or STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage. This FOA is expected to promote partnerships between Federally-funded SBIR or STTR Phase II awardees and third-party investors and/or strategic partners to facilitate and accelerate the capital-intensive steps that are required to commercialize new products and services. Applicants must submit a Commercialization Plan, which should include details on any independent third-party investor funding that has already been secured or is anticipated during the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will be equal to or greater than the NCI funds being requested throughout the Phase IIB Bridge Award project period. Proposed projects may address preclinical and/or clinical stages of technology development. Clinical trials may be proposed as appropriate but are not required |
