The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this grant to renew its Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) program, established to accelerate the translation of academic biomedical discoveries into products that improve patient care and public health. This grant is for qualifying institutions to create academic entrepreneurship Hubs. These Hubs will provide innovators with initial investment, resources for proof-of-concept work, and mentorship in product development and commercialization for high-priority technologies within NIH’s mission. Working as a consortium, funded Hubs will establish infrastructure for identifying promising technologies, fund product definition studies, provide access to essential early-stage development expertise (scientific, regulatory, business), and offer skills development in entrepreneurship. Establishing public-private partnerships and securing additional non-federal funds are critical for the Hubs’ success in fostering innovation.

| Description: | This FOA announces the renewal of the NIH Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) program, established to facilitate and accelerate the translation of academic biomedical discoveries into products that improve patient care and public health. Through this program, NIH will provide the qualifying institutions with the funds to seed the creation of academic entrepreneurship Hubs. Hubs will be responsible for providing innovators with both the initial investment and resources to support the proof-of-concept work and the mentorship in product development and commercialization needed to develop high priority technologies within the NIHs mission. Funded Hubs are intended to work as a consortium to enable: (1) the infrastructure for identifying the most promising technologies, (2) funding for product definition studies (e.g. feasibility studies, prototype development, proof-of-concept studies) provided to individual researchers, (3) access to resources and expertise in areas required for early stage technology development (including scientific, regulatory, reimbursement, business, legal, and project management), and (4) skills development and hands-on experience in entrepreneurship. Establishing public-private partnerships and providing additional non-federal funds will be critical for success. |
