The course is presented in a series of five sequential videos. The video modules and course details can be found here: https://www.nibib.nih.gov/entrepreneurial-finance-course
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports the development and commercialization of biomedical technologies through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. With the goal of bringing life-saving innovations to market, NIH SBIR/STTR funding provides early-stage seed capital to US-owned small businesses. While the commercialization of biomedical technologies can require a significant amount of both time and money, rigorous financial planning can help navigate and mitigate risks for small businesses and can enhance chances of success along the pathway to market.
For biomedical innovators considering funding through the NIH SBIR/STTR programs (https://sbir.nih.gov), it is imperative to evaluate the use of federal grant funding within the context of a broader financial plan.
Course Objectives
The purpose of this course is to present biomedical entrepreneurs with a detailed framework for building a step-wise, validated financial plan. Moving beyond the short-term perspective of immediate financing needs to a comprehensive, long-term financial plan will increase the probability of success for your venture. The primary learning objectives for this course are as follows:
- Understand the importance of financial planning for your small business
- Gain perspective on SBIR/STTR funding within the broader context of your financial plan
- Learn practical approaches to developing a long-term financial plan
- Evaluate the various sources of funding
- Examine the use of comparables in validating your financial plan
