Insider Insights: Federal Small Business Innovation Research Funding
Did you know the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides roughly $100M annually to early-stage technology and therapeutics development through Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding? Overall, the NIH provides over $1.4B annually to US life sciences companies.
Want to learn how you can take advantage of such funding?
Attend this event on Friday, December 6, to hear from:
- Stephanie Davis, Ph.D., Small Business Program Coordinator at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
- Jason Conage-Pough, Ph.D., AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow at the National Institutes of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

Together, they will offer an in-depth analysis of federal SBIR/STTR funding, opening up about their work and how the NIH, NIDDK, and NHLBI support entrepreneurship in the life sciences. Each guest will provide key insights about their respective programs and pathways for engagement, followed by a moderated Q&A with host Julio de Unamuno IV (UC San Diego Rady School of Management MBA '14), who partners and operates several university life sciences accelerator programs, including the UC San Diego Venture Catalyst Program.
