Blueprint MedTech: Incubator Hubs (U54 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, with participating NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to promote the new Blueprint MedTech program by publishing a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit applications to establish incubator hubs to provide medical device developers (innovators) with resources to support development of human-grade prototypes. The FOA intends to utilize the U54 activity code and is expected to be published in Summer 2021 with an expected application due date in Fall 2021. Incubator hubs will coordinate and manage resources for the Blueprint MedTech program, working as a consortium to provide: (1) infrastructure for identifying the most promising technologies, (2) the distribution of sub-award funding for innovators and resources to support product definition (e.g., needs assessment, product design, prototype development), and (3) access to relevant expertise (e.g., scientific, design, business development, and project management). Details of the planned program are provided below. This Notice is being provided for informational purposes to allow potential applicants additional time to develop responsive applications and meaningful collaborations. NIH reserves the right to modify the scope and objectives as described in this Notice. Final scope, objectives, and requirements will be set forth in the published FOAs.
