Small Business Innovation Research to Improve The Chemistry and Targeted Delivery of RNAi Molecules (SBIR [R43/R44]): - 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 SBIR mechanisms. Only small business concerns are eligible to submit applications. - This funding opportunity will utilize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) mechanism, but will be run in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope (PA-06-004) that will utilize the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) 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.
