Description:
The purpose of this Program Announcement (PA) is to solicit from NHLBI-
supported SBIR Phase II awardees, competing continuation applications that
propose to continue the process of assessing and improving devices or
conducting preclinical studies of products or devices that ultimately require:
1) clinical evaluation, 2) approval by a Federal regulatory agency, and 3)
continuing refinements to durable medical equipment (DME) designs such as cost
reduction, testing for safety, durability, and reliability, and meeting or
establishing standards. Such products include, but are not limited to
biological products, devices, drugs, vaccines, medical implants, etc. related
to the mission of the NHLBI. Only SBIR Phase II awardees are eligible to
submit a competing continuation application. The previously funded Phase II
SBIR grant need not have been submitted in response to a particular
solicitation, as long as the research is appropriate to the purpose of this
solicitation. Since the Phase II competing continuation grant is a new funding
mechanism and is contingent on the fiscal and programmatic interests and
priorities of the NHLBI, eligible applicants are strongly encouraged to
contact their NHLBI Program official prior to submission.
