RFA-OD-14-055: NIH Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) Awards (U01)

The NIH announces a new funding opportunity to support proof-of-concept centers (Hubs) that facilitate and accelerate the translation of biomedical innovations into commercial products that improve patient care and enhance health. The REACH Hubs will provide qualified institutions with the initial investment and resources to nurture innovators to develop high priority early-stage technologies within the NIH’s mission by providing: (1) infrastructure for identifying the most promising technologies, (2) funding for product definition studies (e.g. feasibility studies, prototype development, or proof-of-concept studies), (3) coordinated access to expertise in areas required for early stage technology development (including scientific, regulatory, reimbursement, business, legal, and project management), and (4) skills development and hands-on experience in entrepreneurism.

The NIH will host a pre-submission webinar on May 14, 2014 at 3pm ET. You can register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6578187111589108993
