U.S. Department of Health & Human Services National Institutes of Health Multiple NIH institutes and centers have released program announcements related to the development of quantum-enabled technologies. These announcements include opportunities for small business funding, as well as research and training grants.
Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Quantum Sensing in Biomedical Applications (SBIR/STTR) – This notice intends to support small businesses in developing and commercializing quantum technologies for biomedical applications.
Submission of Phase I, Fast-Track, and Direct to Phase II SBIR, as well as Phase I and Fast-Track STTR grant applications from Small Business Concerns, are encouraged for the purpose of developing tools, resources and approaches for commercialization that harness new quantum sensing approaches to solve biomedical research questions. Application areas of interest include preventing, monitoring and diagnosing disease.
The overarching goal is to transition quantum mechanics–based sensing applications from the lab to the biomedical market and clinic. Participating institutes and centers include NEI, NHLBI, NIBIB, NCATS and NCI.
Research and Training Grants Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Quantum Sensing Technologies in Biomedical Applications – This notice’s intent is to support innovative and potentially transformative research projects in quantum technology applications in biomedical disciplines. Quantum sensing harnesses the power of quantum physics and mechanics to measure quantum states at the subatomic level to improve sensing performance.
The atomic length scale of quantum sensors and their coherence properties, which enable unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity, are gaining importance in near-term and real-world applications in biomedical research. Many of the emerging quantum sensing technologies have yet to be explored in biomedical use cases.
Through further technology development and optimization, these novel sensing technologies could drastically enhance current biological imaging and sensing measurements. This offers unique opportunities and the capacity to advance biomedical research and clinical translation. Participating institutes and centers include NIBIB, NEI, NHLBI, NIGMS, NCATS and NCI.
Notice of Announcement of NIH Quantum Technology Prize Competitions – NCATS is leading a set of prize challenges to foster innovation in the fields of quantum computing and quantum sensing as they apply to the biomedical sciences. Partnering institutes and centers include ODSS, CIT, NEI and NIBIB.
NIH Quantum Computing Challenge – This challenge aims to identify novel biomedical use cases that are amenable to quantum computing–based solutions, including quantum-classical hybrid solutions. By combining expertise and advancements made across such disciplines as engineering, material sciences, biomedical sciences and computational sciences, we hope to uncover new crosscutting technologies in this field.
The areas of interest for the current Quantum Computing Challenge include: Quantum algorithms for drug discovery Quantum algorithms for clinical risk predictions, diagnosis and therapeutics Quantum algorithms for biomedical imaging and genomic data analysis NIH Quantum Sensing Technology Challenge – This challenge aims to address key subject areas by incentivizing multidisciplinary teams (biomedical, quantum scientists, engineers, computational experts) to work together to apply emerging quantum-enabled sensing approaches to biomedical research and clinical applications to broaden current capabilities in areas such as early detection, diagnostics and therapeutic development.
The areas of interest for the Quantum Sensing Technology Challenge include: Quantum-enabled approaches to advance biomedical applications Quantum-enabled approaches for early detection and diagnostics Quantum-enabled sensing and imaging devices for diagnostics and monitoring Quantum Computing Innovation Lab NIH Quantum Computing: New Frontiers in Biomedical Research Innovation Lab – An innovation lab is an immersive, interactive experience.

Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports transformative, high-risk/high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral, and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in biomedical and public health. It encourages scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams to develop novel methods to collect, sense, connect, analyze, and interpret data from individuals, devices, and systems, enabling discovery and optimizing health. This includes applying AI in healthcare.
NIH NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Early-Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00) is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) / National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early-stage postdoctoral researchers in cancer-related fields to transition to independent research careers. The award provides a mentored phase (K99) followed by an independent phase (R00), supporting investigators who do not require an extended period of supervised training beyond their doctoral degrees. Eligible applicants must hold a research or clinical doctoral degree and be postdoctoral fellows who have not yet established independent research careers. The March 11, 2026 due date applies; award amounts vary by project.
NIH R25 Summer Research Education Experience Program is a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds universities and institutions of higher education to provide summer research experiences in environmental health sciences to high school students, college undergraduates, and science teachers. Administered through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), the program aims to attract young people to scientific careers and help teachers communicate about the scientific process more effectively. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions eligible for NIH grants. The application deadline was March 17, 2026.
NIH committed $402 million across 601 multiyear-funded grants in the first eight months of FY 2026 — more than four times the pace of two years ago. The mechanism front-loads obligations into a single fiscal year, leaving less budget for new project starts and squeezing FY 2026 success rates. What researchers and institutions should be doing now.
Read articlePAR-26-042 funds NLM-priority clinical informatics R01 grants up to $250,000 in direct costs per year through March 6, 2029, with standard NIH cycles on October 5, February 5, and June 5. The notice explicitly defines non-responsive applications: incremental tool improvements, projects primarily focused on social determinants of health, and projects primarily focused on ethical/legal/social issues. With NIH SBIR/STTR just reopened and the OMB Uniform Grants Regulation rewrite reshaping discretionary awards, the NLM clinical informatics line is one of the few stable, well-defined biomedical funding streams left at the agency. Here is how to read it.
Read articleNOT-OD-26-006 closed all 23 NIH SBIR/STTR opportunities on Nov 17, 2025. The Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act (S. 3971) was signed April 13, 2026, reauthorizing the program through 2031. NIH posted no active SBIR/STTR NOFOs through early June 2026 while it rebuilt its solicitation suite around new statutory requirements. The September 5 standard receipt date is the first real test of the post-freeze pipeline — here is what the unwind looks like and how to position for it.
