[R43/R44] Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant – Phase
I, Phase II, and Fast-Track
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small
business concerns (SBCs) that propose the development and
translation of technologies to improve hearing healthcare
outcomes. Responsive applications must seek to increase
utilization of hearing health care technology by underserved
patients and thus reduce health disparities.
Commercialization grants encourage commercialization of science,
moving technology from discovery to development for eventual
delivery to the marketplace. Commercialization grants target
research efforts centered on validating the commercial merit of
new technologies. This type of research is often referred to as
prototype development, proof of principle, and reduction to
practice. Funded grants will describe clearly how the scientific
and technical work will be coordinated with development of the
commercial opportunity. LSDF has allocated up to $750,000 for
commercialization grants in each of two competitions in 2011.
Individual requests are not to exceed $150,000, with work
expected to be completed within one year.
