Opportunity Summary:
The PHS 2009-02 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant Applications (Parent STTR R41/R42), Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-081, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to help U.S. small business concerns move early-stage biomedical and behavioral innovations toward practical, real-world use. The core aim is to support research and development that aligns with the missions of participating NIH Institutes and Centers, with projects proposed in response to NIH’s published SBIR/STTR program descriptions and research topics for that solicitation cycle. In plain terms, NIH is looking for small companies that have strong technical capabilities and can work hand-in-hand with a nonprofit research institution to translate promising ideas into technologies, tools, or interventions that improve human health.
This announcement uses the STTR mechanism, which is specifically built around formal collaboration between a small business and a U.S. research institution. The grant mechanisms supported under this FOA are R41 (Phase I), R42 (Phase II), and Fast-Track applications that combine Phase I and Phase II into a single, continuous submission. Phase I funding is generally meant to establish feasibility and produce proof-of-concept results, while Phase II supports more advanced R&D efforts such as refinement, validation, scaling, and preparation for commercialization or broader implementation. A key point in the solicitation is that STTR applications under this program are accepted only by NIH; other HHS agencies that sometimes participate in related programs (specifically the CDC, FDA, and ACF) do not take part in the STTR program under this announcement.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary grant funding and is tied to a wide range of NIH-related research and public health areas. The CFDA program numbers listed span many scientific domains, including environmental health, deafness and communication disorders, disability prevention, immunization research and education, childhood lead poisoning prevention, sleep disorders research, mental health, minority health and health disparities, nursing research, research infrastructure, and a broad spectrum of disease-focused areas. These include cancer (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control), cardiovascular disease, lung disease, blood diseases, arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neuroscience and neurological disorders, allergy/immunology/transplantation, infectious diseases, general biomedical research and training, child health and human development, aging, vision research, and medical library assistance. The breadth of CFDA listings signals that NIH intended this parent solicitation to be broadly usable across many Institutes and Centers, as long as the proposed STTR work fit the relevant NIH mission and the specific topic areas referenced for that year’s omnibus solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to small businesses in the United States, consistent with STTR program requirements. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The grant opportunity was posted and created on January 22, 2009, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2010, and an archive date of February 7, 2010, indicating the solicitation was time-limited and is now closed. The summary data also lists an award ceiling of $100,000, which typically reflects a cap for certain components or a summarized limit in the source listing, though actual NIH STTR award budgets can vary by phase, institute policies, and justification within NIH guidelines.
Administratively, the FOA is positioned as a companion to a parallel NIH solicitation with the same scientific scope for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, PA-09-080, which uses different grant mechanisms (R43/R44). The distinction matters because SBIR and STTR differ in collaboration requirements and how the research effort is allocated between the company and the partnering research institution. This FOA is specifically for STTR (R41/R42), meaning the collaboration element is central rather than optional. For applicants needing the complete official details, NIH provided an additional information link to the full FOA text on the NIH Grants Guide website, and included contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
