The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering the SBIR Phase IIB Bridge Award to accelerate the commercialization of cancer-related technologies. This grant provides additional funding for small business concerns previously supported by NIH SBIR Phase II awards, focusing on cancer therapeutics, imaging technologies, interventional devices, and diagnostics/prognostics. The purpose is to facilitate the transition of these projects to market. Applicants must submit a comprehensive Commercialization Plan detailing third-party investor funding that ideally matches or exceeds the requested NCI funds. This initiative aims to promote partnerships and accelerate the capital-intensive steps required to commercialize innovative cancer products and technologies, bridging the gap from development to market.

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 by NIH SBIR Phase II awards. 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 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 Phase II projects to the commercialization stage. This FOA is expected to promote partnerships between NIHs SBIR 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 technologies. Consistent with the goals of this funding initiative and as required by the SF424 instructions for all Phase II SBIR applications, 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 Bridge Award project period. It is expected that the level of this independent third-party funding will equal or exceed 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.. |
