The FOA aims to facilitate the transition of SBIR and STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by providing additional support for technical assistance not typically supported through Phase II or Phase IIB grants or contracts. This may include preparation of documents for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submission, development of an intellectual property strategy and/or planning for a clinical trial. Although a significant amount of the work in a CRP award may be subcontracted to other institutions, the SBC is expected to maintain oversight and management of the R&D throughout the award. NHLBI will support requests up to $50,000 for Phase II awardees. The Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program will fund activities not traditionally allowed in SBIR/STTR grants.

Notice of NHLBI budget limitations: NOT-HL-15-283
