Probes for Microimaging The Nervous System (STTR [R41/R42]): - This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) grant applications that propose research and development of probes useful in imaging the structure and function of the brain and other parts of the nervous system, with award duration and amounts greater than those routinely allowed under the STTR programs. Specifically this FOA solicits STTR applications that propose research and development of probes that generate signals detectable by one or more imaging modality. Such probes should indicate the structure or function of molecules or subcellular elements of neurons or other cells of the nervous system. Of special interest are applications that propose research and development of novel probes, although significant enhancements of already existing probes are also solicited. Grant applications may propose projects that will result in probes solely intended for use in research or probes that might have clinical utility. It is expected that this initiative will require expertise from a variety of disciplines, including neuroscience, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, biotechnology, and bioengineering. Moreover, it is anticipated that these types of expertise will be brought together in various combinations in individual proposed projects. - Budgets up to $ 200,000 total costs per year and time periods up to 2 years for Phase I may be requested. Budgets up to $ 400,000 total costs per year and up to 3 years may be requested for Phase II. - No funds have been specifically set aside for this program; the number of awards and the amount of funds provided for awards have not been predetermined. - This funding opportunity will be run in parallel with a funding opportunity of identical scientific scope, Probes for Microimaging The Nervous System (PA-06-021), that will utilize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR [R43/R44]) grant mechanism. - Only United States SBCs are eligible to submit STTR 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. - Applicant SBCs may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct. - See Section IV 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, 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 (a) at least 51% 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.
