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.

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.
