NIAID Small Business Applicant Assistance Program 2024-2025 Cycle 2 Office Hour

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Small Business Applicant Assistance Program (AAP) will open for applications on September 9, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. EDT. This program cycle is intended for applicants who plan to submit their Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant applications for the January 5, 2025, submission deadline.

The NIAID Small Business AAP will support companies planning to apply for a NIAID Phase I, Phase II/IIB, Fast Track, or Direct-to-Phase II SBIR/ STTR Awards at no cost. NIAID encourages AAP participation from small businesses that are owned or operated by individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in biomedical sciences, such as women-owned small businesses, socially/economically disadvantaged small businesses, and companies located within Historically Under-utilized Business (HUB) Zones.

Participants in the NIAID AAP will work one-on-one with a Senior Consultant from Foresight Science & Technology, who will help you prepare your proposal with such services as Outlines and Checklist, Registration Guidance, Review and Feedback on Commercialization Plan, Research Strategy, Budget, and/or other Attachments.

Questions? Attend this office hour with NIAID Small Business Program staff and representatives from AAP supporting contractor company Foresight Science & Technology to get the answers you need to determine whether this program is right for you.
