Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs (NCI) is sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) - NIH. The NCI SBIR and STTR programs support small businesses in developing innovative cancer technologies with strong potential to improve health outcomes. This includes therapeutics, diagnostics, imaging technologies, and tools for cancer biology research.
Research Infrastructure Programs - Research Centers is sponsored by Department of Health And Human Services. The Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP), within the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI) in the NIH Office of the Director, supports extramural biomedical research by strengthening the infrastructure that enables scientific discovery. ORIP advances human health by fostering the development of critical research models, biomaterials, and technologies; expanding access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and facilities; supporting education and training programs; and assisting small businesses in translating innovative technologies. Through its two divisions, the Division of Comparative Medicine (DCM) and the Division of Construction and Instruments (DCI), ORIP plays a critical role in accelerating biomedical research nationwide. DCM develops and sustains essential research models and biological resources, manages the infrastructure required for their use and distribution, and provides training to ensure investigators have reliable access to high-quality models and facilities. DCI supports shared, cost-effective access to advanced scientific instrumentation, modernizing research facilities, and providing critical equipment that enables transformative biomedical discoveries. Together, DCM and DCI strengthen U.S. competitiveness and ensure the biomedical research community has the infrastructure necessary to address emerging health challenges, prevent disease, promote health, and advance foundational science.

NOT-OD-26-112 released a draft NIH Biosafety Policy for Research Involving Biohazards on August 19, 2026. It would replace the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules, extend IBC jurisdiction from engineered molecules to wild-type agents, toxins and prions, impose 24-hour incident reporting, and make the Biosafety Officer a federally defined role. Here is what actually changes and how to respond before the October 19, 2026 deadline.
Read articleNSF 26-517 replaces the core solicitations of Environmental Biology, Integrative Organismal Systems and Molecular and Cellular Biosciences with a single directorate-wide opportunity. Proposals are accepted anytime, sorted centrally by NSF rather than targeted by the PI, and reorganized under three inquiry areas. Here is what the $280 million actually buys, why the loss of program targeting cuts both ways, and what to do before the September 16 webinar.
