DEADLINE EXTENDED! NIH SBIR/STTR Commercialization Accelerator Program (CAP)

Due to a few technical difficulties, and to accommodate new and/or incoming awardees, NIH is extending the deadline to apply to their NIH Commercialization Accelerator Program (NIH CAP).

The new deadline is 11:59 p.m. PDT (Pacific) FRIDAY, September 13, 2019.

This is a cost free* customized commercialization (market readiness/growth) program. For 16 years, CAP has provided customized technical/business assistance to companies at different stages, and has a notable track record: 50 acquisitions (including companies acquired by Sony, Zoll, Bruker, BioMarin, Illumina, Takeda, Google, Roche, etc.), 10 IPOs, and more than $1B in 3rd party funding raised.

The program features:

  • world-class guidance from experienced domain professionals, including industry and technical specialists affiliated with Bayer Healthcare, Qualcomm, Baxter, Pfizer, Genetech, McKesson, Medtronic, CMS, Life Technology, etc.
  • Feedback and interaction from a range of stakeholders in the life sciences marketplace
  • Notable graduates of the CAP include: Sharklet, Lift Labs, (provide a few big and recognizable names)
  • Alumni benefit – Continued access to Larta’s network and resources post program!

*CAP participation is free of charge for program participating companies; however, participants are responsible for travel and lodging expenses associated with attending workshops and program related events.

For more details on this program, including success data, eligibility and instructions, please visit: https://sbir.nih.gov/cap.

The Center for Biotechnology recently co-hosted a startup series focused on providing guidance and insight into how innovators can take their solution from the benchtop to the Biomedical Advanced Research & Development Authority (BARDA).

Produced in collaboration with our fellow BARDA Division of Research, Innovation & Ventures (DRIVe) accelerators, each of the six sessions focused on key start up topics and were led by experts with providing an overview of key resources available to innovators to help fund and advance their solution from early through late stages of development, as well as provide guidance on how to navigate the funding opportunities within BARDA and BARDA DRIVe.

Look for our announcements of additional offerings from the BARDA DRIVe network soon, including the upcoming BARDA Industry Day on November 15-16, 2022.

Two specific funding programs have been designed to help faculty, physicians, surgeons, medical fellows, and post-docs develop their academic innovations toward commercial goals. The RFP is and forms for the funding programs can be found on the Center for Biotechnology website here. Those interested in applying are strongly encouraged to discuss the proposal with: Anton Xavier (anton.xavier@stonybrook.edu) William Hanes (william.hanes@stonybrook.edu) Heather Bielski Lawler (heather.bielski@stonybrook.edu) Johnna St Clair (johnna.stclair@stonybrook.edu) They are happy to introduce this Technology Development program and provide support to address unfamiliar questions in the application. Deadline for submission is Sep 13th, 2019. All proposal should be submitted through the online portal HERE. Please note an approval from your Sponsored Programs Office is NOT required prior to the submission but will be required if the project is selected for NIH secondary review. Eligible applicants will be notified if their application is selected to move forward. The Center for Biotechnology, in collaboration with Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, formed the LIBH. A principal goal of the LIBH is to foster the development of therapeutics, diagnostics, devices and research tools emerging from within the four partner institutions that address diseases within the mission of NIH. The LIBH is supported by the National Institutes of Health REACH initiative (Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub), our four partner institutions, The Research Foundation for SUNY, and Empire State Development.   [post_title] => Funding Opportunity: Long Island Bioscience Hub REACH [post_excerpt] => The Center for Biotechnology, on behalf of Long Island Bioscience Hub (LIBH), is pleased to announce the opening of the 8th round of the LIBH Technology Development RFP.
