Consulting

SEED Product Development Consultants

The SEED Product Development Consultants are subject matter experts in business development, regulatory and reimbursement affairs, and intellectual property rights who share their experience and passion through targeted conversations (called consults) with NIH awardees. Anyone who has received funding (an award, prize, training grant, etc.) from NIH within the past two years is eligible to request a consult. Learn more about our consultants.
 

How the Program Works

SEED consults may focus on an activity or a knowledge area, are typically one-hour long, single conversations, and are scheduled as needed – generally within two weeks of a request (pending innovator availability).  Each consult type has a request form with questions specific to the focus of the planned conversation.
