The Long-term Strategic Outcome Of This Project Is To Improve Navigation Of The Laboratory-to-market Pipeline By Biomedical Innovators Funded Through The Nih Small Business And Translational Product Development Programs By Providing Targeted Regulatory And Commercialization Support And Education. 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. Seed’s Community Is Comprised Of Both Academic And Small Business Awardees, As Well As The Nih Staff Who Administer These Awards. academic Innovators Have Access To Commercialization Resources Through Several Programs, Most Notably The Nih Research And Evaluation And Commercialization Hubs (reach) Awards. The Reach Program Comprises 5 Proof-of-concept Hubs And Provides Commercialization Support To Eligible Institutions, Including Funding, Mentoring, And Feedback From Federal And Industry Experts. Over The Past 36 Months, Seed In Collaboration With The Incumbent Provided Written Feedback To 78 Innovators Participating In The Reach Program. Contribution Of Regulatory And Payment Perspectives For These Very Early-stage Projects Is Critical To Help The Reach Program Awardees Make Final Funding Decisions And Ensure The Subawards Proceed In The Most Effective Way To Validate Proof Of Feasibility For The Proposed Technologies. access To Subject Matter Experts For One-on-one Consultations Is A Cornerstone Of Many Of Seed’s Programs Including The Consultation Program, Company Showcase Program, Taba Needs Assessment Report Review Program, And Sow Development Program. Over The Past 36 Months, Seed Has Worked Closely With The Incumbent To Provide 124 Regulatory And 50 Reimbursement Consultations. These Calls Have Provided Innovators With Information Directly Relevant To Their Unique Product Or Service, Streamlining Their Interactions With Fda And Cms/payors. 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. Each Consultation Is A Critical Contribution To An Individual Research Project Within The Nih Portfolio, And Helps Nih Achieve Its Overarching Goal Of Improving The Health Of The Nation. major Themes Emerging From These Consultation Programs Provided The Framework For Seed’s Suite Of Online Educational Resources. This Resource Library Includes Critical, Actionable, Information About Regulatory And Reimbursement/payment Activities In The Us Life Sciences Ecosystem. The Communication Style Of These Resources Is Based Upon Intimate Knowledge Of The General Level Of Awareness Of The Nih Portfolio On Each Topic.
