Grant Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to propose research to develop new devices and instruments, and/or improve existing devices and instruments to monitor and treat newborn infants and small children safely and efficaciously. Mechanism of Support.This FOA will utilize the STTR (R41) grant mechanism for Phase I applications and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-HD-09-017, which solicits applications under the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) (R43) grant mechanism. This FOA does not support STTR Phase II, Fast-Track, or Phase II Competing Renewal applications. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD has set aside $225,000 total cost to support up to 1 meritorious application and the NHLBI has set aside $225,000 total cost to support up to 1 meritorious application for FY 2010 under this FOA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.Future year amounts will depend on annual appropriations. Budget and Project Period.For this Phase I funding opportunity, budgets up to $225,000 total costs, per year, for up to 2 years, may be requested. Eligible Institutions/Organizations. Only United States SBCs may submit STTR applications and receive STTR awards. A SBC is one that, on the date of award for Phase I funding meets ALL of the criteria as described in Section III. Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs). Individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research are invited to work with their organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. On an STTR application, the PD/PI may be employed with the SBC or the single, partnering non-profit research institution as long as he/she has a formal appointment with or commitment to the applicant SBC, which is characterized by an official relationship between the small business concern and that individual.
