Small Business Opportunities for Innovative Women’s Health Research Webinar
Are you interested in learning about small business opportunities for women’s health research? The Office of Research on Women’s Health is hosting a virtual webinar on “Small Business Opportunities for Innovative Women’s Health Research.”
As mentioned in President Biden’s Executive Order on Advancing Women’s Health Research and Innovation, private-sector innovation is a key aspect of accelerating and improving women’s health research. NIH is committed to further increasing—by 50%—its investments in supporting innovators and early-stage small businesses engaged in research and development on women’s health.
Stephanie Fertig, Director of the NIH Small Business Program, and several representatives from participating institutes and centers will provide an overview of SBIR/STTR funding and other topics.
