PHS 2011 02 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer Grant Applications (Parent STTR R41/R42) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The PHS 2011-02 Omnibus Solicitation of the NIH for Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Grant Applications (Parent STTR R41/R42) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to support early-stage research and development carried out by eligible United States small business concerns (SBCs) in formal partnership with a nonprofit research institution. The central purpose of the STTR program is to help move promising biomedical and behavioral research ideas toward practical products, processes, and services that align with NIH public health missions, while also encouraging structured technology transfer between small businesses and research organizations. This specific announcement serves as an omnibus or broad parent solicitation, meaning it provides an entry point for many different NIH Institutes and Centers, and applicants are expected to propose projects that fit within the research topics and priorities described in the companion NIH SBIR/STTR topic document referenced in the announcement.

This opportunity uses the STTR grant mechanism under the R41/R42 activity codes. In practice, that means it supports a phased development pathway where Phase I (R41) is generally used to establish the technical merit and feasibility of an idea, and Phase II (R42) is intended to continue research and development efforts that build on Phase I results and move the project closer to commercialization. As a parent STTR solicitation, the FOA is not limited to a single disease area or technology type; instead, it covers a wide range of NIH-supported research domains as long as the proposed work clearly matches an NIH awarding component mission and an identified topic area.

Eligible applicants are limited to small businesses, and the intent is that these small businesses bring the commercialization focus and product-development drive, while a partner research institution contributes complementary scientific capabilities and facilities. The announcement emphasizes that applicants should have the research capabilities and technological expertise to contribute meaningfully to NIH research and development missions. While the full text of the FOA provides the detailed STTR eligibility rules, the basic program expectation is that the project is a true collaboration rather than a simple contracting relationship, with defined roles for the small business and the research institution.

The NIH activity areas covered by this omnibus solicitation span a broad spectrum of health and related research fields, reflected in the many CFDA program listings associated with the announcement. These include, among others, environmental health; oral diseases; injury prevention and control; human genome research; deafness and communication disorders; complementary and integrative health; mental health; alcohol research; drug abuse and addiction; technological innovations to improve human health; minority health and health disparities; nursing research; multiple areas of cancer research (cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control); cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases; arthritis and musculoskeletal/skin diseases; diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases; neurosciences and neurological disorders; allergy, immunology, and transplantation; microbiology and infectious diseases; general biomedical research and training; child health and human development; aging; vision research; and medical library assistance. Taken together, this signals that NIH was seeking STTR proposals across many biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and health-technology categories, provided the work fit the participating NIH components and the specified topic areas.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PA-11-097 and is categorized as a discretionary grant program. It was posted and created on January 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date listed as January 7, 2012, and an archive date of February 7, 2012, indicating it is no longer active as a current application route. The listing also notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is important for small businesses because it reduces the need for non-federal funds to accompany the application. An award ceiling of $100,000 is shown in the source data, although NIH STTR budgets are typically governed by FOA-specific guidelines, phase structure, and NIH policy caps, so applicants would normally confirm allowable budgets in the full announcement and related NIH STTR guidance.

Applicants are directed to consult the full announcement online (the NIH Grants Guide link provided) for complete requirements, including eligibility rules, required registrations, application format, review criteria, and the specific research topics associated with PHS 2011-2 SBIR/STTR Program Descriptions and Research Topics for NIH. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster via the provided email address.
