SBIR/STTR Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program Deadlines

The newly re-authorized Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) program is now accepting applications from previously or currently HHS-funded SBIR and STTR Phase II and Phase IIB awardees.

NHLBI open and accepting applications from NHLBI grantees for the September 5th NIH SBIR/STTR receipt date; HHS/NIH general applications will be accepted from August 5, 2019 until April 6, 2022 via standard due dates.

CPR can provide over $3 million in additional funding to facilitate the commercialization transition for projects, and support work that is not typically supported through SBIR/STTR Phase II or Phase IIB awards, including:

– Preparation of documents for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submission
– Development of an intellectual property strategy
– Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies
– Clinical studies
– Manufacturing costs
– Regulatory assistance
– Subcontracted work to other institutions, including contract research organizations (CRO)
– A combination of services.

Although a significant amount of the work in a CRP award may be subcontracted to other institutions, the Small Business Concern (SBC) is expected to maintain oversight and management of the R&D throughout the award. Please note, this re-authorization includes (3) separate Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) with varying participating NIH Institutes and Centers.

The annual event, co-organized by the CFB and Stony Brook Universities Clean Energy Business Incubator Program (CEBIP), featured eight technologies emerging from the region’s top research institutions. The event rallies community talent and resources to investigate and transform commercially promising technologies into pre-seed stage companies. Dr. Carol Carter, a molecular Genetics and Microbiology Profession at Stony Brook University, participated in the boot camp this year. About her experience in the boot camp, she noted to Innovate Long Island, “It’s given me an education of a type I’ve not gotten before, in all of my training. As an academician, you don’t usually get this kind of perspective on what you do.” Read additional articles on the event here and here.

The Life Sciences Summit is an exclusive early stage investor and business development conference that highlights innovation. The objective of the event is to provide an intimate setting allowing emerging biotech companies and academic innovators to connect with the capital and strategic partners they will need to move new discoveries through clinical development.

The virtual 2022 program features thought provoking plenary sessions, presentations by promising young companies with transformative science, the "innovation pipeline" featuring academic innovators and pre-seed stage companies working on cutting edge technologies, and 1:1 networking opportunities.

In early February, we welcomed leadership from Empire State Development (ESD), including its Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) and New York Ventures, for a two-day visit focused on applied research, industry collaboration and economic development across New York State.

The visit spotlighted key teams throughout Stony Brook University, including the Center’s role in driving innovation through supporting hundreds of patents, licenses, and commercialization efforts to help translate breakthrough discoveries into real‑world medical and biotechnology applications. As our very own Clinton Rubin remarked, "We are excited by NYS’s commitment to harnessing Stony Brook’s research enterprise for economic impact, and building the life sciences innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem here on campus, on Long Island and in our State.”

We’re excited to share more soon about how our Center is bringing its vision to life by accelerating the path from academic research to marketplace solutions.
