Small Business Programs | National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are congressionally-mandated set-aside programs to encourage research and development that has a strong potential for technology commercialization.
These programs were developed to meet the following objectives: Stimulate technological innovation; Meet federal research and development needs; Increase private-sector commercialization of innovations developed through federal R&D funding; and Foster and encourage participation in innovation and entrepreneurship by socially and economically disadvantaged persons and women-owned small businesses.
The Small Business Program at the NIBIB is used to achieve the mission of the Institute by supporting innovative technologies through various stages of commercial research and development. The NIBIB welcomes SBIR and STTR applications from small businesses proposing ideas relevant to its scientific program areas . Please contact program staff if you have questions about which Institute(s) would be the best fit for your project.

Read articleNIH's accelerating use of multiyear-funded grants — 601 awards worth $402 million in the first half of FY26, against just 146 awards worth $75 million in the same window of FY24 — has produced a fiscal contraction at research universities that has begun cascading into PhD admissions. AAU member institutions are admitting smaller graduate cohorts than they did in 2024 or 2025, with downstream consequences for the biomedical workforce, lab continuity, and the foreign-student pipeline through 2030. Why the contraction is structural rather than cyclical, and what universities, PIs, and prospective trainees should be doing in the second half of 2026.
