This Includes Support Of Both Individual Innovators And The Nih Innovation Ecosystem As A Whole By Providing Subject Matter Expertise And Developing Educational Resources To Provide Durable Regulatory And Reimbursement Support. the National Institutes Of Health (nih) Funds Research Aimed At Improving The Health Of Individuals, And The Nih Office Of Extramural Research (oer) Ensures Scientific Integrity, Public Accountability, And Effective Stewardship Of The Nih Extramural Research Portfolio. Oer Is Committed To Accelerating The Commercialization (i.e. Lab To Market) Path For Promising Federally Funded Science And Technologies With The Potential To Improve Patients’ Lives. This Goal Is Required From The Legislation Establishing The Small Business Innovation Research (sbir) And Small Business Technology Transfer (sttr) Programs. Catalyzing New Technology And Solution Development Is An Element Of The Nih Wide Strategic Plan, Fiscal Years 2021 – 2025 And The Hhs Strategic Plan, Fiscal Years 2022 – 2026 (strategic Objective 4.2:  Invest In The Research Enterprise And The Scientific Workforce To Maintain Leadership In The Development Of Innovations That Broaden Our Understanding Of Disease, Healthcare, Public Health, And Human Services Resulting In More Effective Interventions, Treatments, And Programs). the Small Business Education And Entrepreneurial Development (seed) Office Within The Nih Oer Supports The Nih Innovator Community By Providing Funding And Resources To Help Advance Discoveries To Products That Improve Patient Health.

The Focus Of The Companies Spans The Full Spectrum Of Nih Mission Space – From Pre-conception Through Death, And All Technology Types (biologic And Small Molecule Drugs, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, Samd, Health It, Manufacturing And Research Tools). The Confidential Information Shared Between Nih Awardees And It’s Contractor To Support These Consultations Is Equivalent To The Information An Awardee Might Share With Their Program Officer, And It Is Extremely Important To Seed That The Potential Contractor Conducting These Consultations Be Non-conflicted With The Intent Of Providing Only Consultations And Not Seeking Additional Work From The Nih Portfolio.
