This is an NIH STTR program for US small businesses doing health-related R&D, built around a first-time principal investigator who is moving from research into entrepreneurship. The money funds R&D at the small business plus training, mentoring, and career development for that first-time PD/PI, who must be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident and must never have led an NIH or CDC research grant. If you are a nonprofit, an established researcher who has already been an independent PD/PI, or

NIH STTR Phase I and Fast-Track grants (R41/R42) for US small business concerns supporting early-career scientists transitioning to entrepreneurship. Funds R&D at the small business plus entrepreneurial training, mentoring, and career development for the first-time PD/PI, who must be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), including the participating Institutes, Centers and Offices, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite eligible United States small business concerns (SBCs) to submit Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I, and Fast-Track grant applications for the Small Business Transition Grant. Through this NOFO, NIH will support early-career scientists transitioning to entrepreneurship. In addition to funding research and development efforts at the SBC, a major component of this NOFO is entrepreneurial training, mentoring, and career development of the PD/PI. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop responsive projects, including identification of complementary industry mentors and career development resources. This NOFO will utilize the R41/R42 activity code. United States small businesses that have the research capabilities and technological expertise to contribute to the R&D mission(s) of the NIH awarding components identified in this NOFO are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. This opportunity is available to first-time Principal Investigators, and key personnel must include a mentor with measurable effort committed to the project.
Only United States small business concerns (SBCs), as defined by the Small Business Administration (SBA)(sbir.gov/apply) are eligible to submit applications for this opportunity. Individuals are eligible to serve as the PD/PI if they have never been an independent PD/PI on an NIH or CDC research, or corresponding non-NIH peer-reviewed research grant, and are a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident.
