SBIR / STTR Program Mission
Supporting scientific excellence and
technological innovation through the investment
of Federal research funds in critical American
priorities to build a strong national economy
one small business at a time.
9
SBIR Purpose and Goals
We in government must work in partnership with
small businesses to ensure that technologies and
processes are readily transferred to commercial
applications. Ronald Reagan, July 22, 1982.

• Stimulate technological innovation

• Use small business to meet Federal RD needs

• Foster and encourage participation by minorities
  and disadvantaged persons in technological
  innovation

• Increase private-sector commercialization
  innovations derived from Federal RD

The Life Science Innovation Lifecycle
SBIR
Adapted from Innovation Lifecycle of Richard
Seline, New Economy Strategies The life science
innovation lifecycle is marked by more challenges
and more unique industry relationships than those
of most other industry clusters, because of
numerous clinical trials, regulatory hurdles and
patent applications. The 21st Century Life
Science Roadmap, Texas Healthcare Bioscience
Institute

31
Multiple PI Initiative Why?
Rationale and Background

• Multiple PD/PI (MPI) represents an NIH Roadmap
  initiative (http//nihroadmap.nih.gov/interdiscipl
  inary/) and responds to a Federal-wide directive
  to formally allow more than one PD/PI
• Offers new approaches to maximize the potential
  of team science efforts
• MPI model will supplement -- not replace --
  traditional single PD/PI model

32
Leadership Plan

• A Leadership Plan must accompany application
• Rationale for having multiple PD/PIs
• Decision making process
• Allocation of funds or resources (when desired)
• Process for resolving conflict
• PD/PIs roles and administrative, technical, and
  scientific responsibilities for project

33
Review of Multiple PD/PI Applications

• Minimal modification of standard review criteria
• Relationship, roles, and responsibility of
  collaborating PD/PIs will be assessed as part of
  Approach
• Qualification of all PD/PIs will be assed under
  Investigators
• If multiple environments are employed, their
  quality will be assessed under Environment
• Details provided in SF424 (RR) Review Section

34
NIH Interaction With PD/PI Team

• SBC must designate a primary point of contact - a
  Contact PD/PI
• This individual is listed first on application
  and will be indicated on all documents.
• SBIR Contact PD/PI must meet 51 employment
  requirement
• STTR Contact PD/PI must be associated with
  applicant/awardee small business concern
• Contact PD/PI has no extra authority or
  responsibility other than serving as a contact
  point for project
• Grantee SBC may, at time of a non-competing
  application, request another member of leadership
  team to assume role of Contact PD/PI

35
SBIR/STTR Multiple PD/PI Employment

• SBIR Primary employment of Contact PD/PI must
  be with SBC (Phase I and Phase II).
• STTR First PD/PI listed must be affiliated with
  applicant SBC and will serve as Contact PD/PI.
  Contact PD/PI may be from SBC or single,
  partnering research institution.
• Note STTR Contact PD/PI must have a formal
  appointment with or commitment to SBC, which must
  be in form of an official relationship between
  parties, but need not include salary or other
  form of remuneration.

Small Business Licensing and Procurement
Opportunities

• 1. NIH is a major (possibly largest) U.S.
  consumer of bioscience research reagents and
  instruments.
• NIH employs 17,000 Intramural staff scientists
• Laboratories spread across the nation (Bethesda
  campus housing majority of labs)
• 2. There are many mechanisms and avenues for
  selling products and services to the NIH.
• GSA Schedule
• Blanket Purchase Agreement with NIH -- Goods and
  services into the NIH stockroom
• - If the goods and services from a biotech
  company are superior quality, an NIH scientist
  can justify buying sole source

65
Annual NIH Research Festival- Excellent
starting point for companies hoping to sell
products to NIH - Bethesda campus (Fall) - Ft.
Detrick campus (Spring) - Small-to-medium-sized
