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.
Director, Office of Program Evaluation and Strategic Partnerships Both the SBIR and STTR programs are divided into three phases as shown in the illustration below. Small Business Program webinar: NIH/NIBIB held an information webinar to announce the Notice of Special Interest to Developers of Technologies for Maternal Health NOT-EB-21-001 . NIBIB held a workshop in 2022 on Technology to Improve Maternal Health.

Building a better part for your heart NIBIB-funded engineers are designing aortic heart valve replacements made of polymers rather than animal heart tissues. The goal is to optimize valve performance and enable increased use of a minimally-invasive method for valve replacement over open heart surgery.
Based on current listing details, eligibility includes: Small businesses with innovative biomedical technologies that improve human health, specifically in areas of biomedical imaging, medical devices, health informatics, diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.
