Small Business Technology Transfer to Improve The Chemistry and Targeted Delivery of RNAi Molecules (STTR [R41/R42]): - The participating institutes of the National Institutes of Health invite the small business community to apply cutting edge-technology to develop new approaches and chemical modifications that will increase the long term stability, delivery and targeting of siRNAs in cells and tissues for laboratory and therapeutic applications. The number of awards made under this solicitation will depend on the overall scientific merit of the applications and the availability of funds. - This PA uses the STTR (R41/R42) mechanisms. - This funding opportunity will utilize the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) mechanism, but will be run in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-06-003) that will utilize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant mechanism. - Only United States SBCs are eligible to submit SBIR applications. A SBC is one that, on the date of award for both Phase I and Phase II funding agreements, meets ALL of the criteria as described in Section III. I.A. - Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with his/her 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 programs. On an SBIR application, the Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) must have his/her primary employment (more than 50%) with the SBC at the time of award and for the duration of the project. - Applicant SBCs may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct. - See Section IV.1 for application materials.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Only United States small business concerns (SBCs) are eligible to submit STTR applications. A small business concern is one that, at the time of award, for both Phase I and Phase II awards, meets all of the following criteria: 1. Is independently owned and operated, is not dominant in the field of operation in which it is proposing, has a place of business in the United States and operates primarily within the United States or makes a significant contribution to the US economy, and is organized for profit. 2. Is at least 51 percent owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are citizens of, or permanent resident aliens in, the United States. 3. Has, including its affiliates, an average number of employees for the preceding 12 months not exceeding 500, and meets the other regulatory requirements found in 13 C.F.R. Part 121. Business concerns are generally considered to be affiliates of one another when either directly or indirectly, (a) one concern controls or has the power to control the other; or (b) a third-party/parties controls or has the power to control both. Control can be exercised through common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. The term "affiliates" is defined in greater detail in 13 C.F.R. 121.103. The term "number of employees" is defined in 13 C.F.R. 121.106. A business concern may be in the form of an individual proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, association, trust, or cooperative. Further information may be obtained at http://sba.gov/size, or by contacting the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Government Contracting Area Office or Office of Size Standards. One of the circumstances that would lead to a finding that an organization is controlling or has the power to control another organization involves sharing common office space and/or employees and/or other facilities (e.g., laboratory space). Access to special facilities or equipment in another organization is permitted (as in cases where the awardee organization has entered into a subcontractual agreement with another organization for a specific, limited portion of the research project). However, research space occupied by an STTR awardee organization must be space that is available to and under the control of the STTR awardee for the conduct of its portion of the proposed project.
