Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Technological Improvements to Data Collection in NIDDK Kidney and Urology Clinical Studies (SBIR) (R41/R42)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 13 053) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation focused on improving how data are captured in clinical research supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The central purpose of the FOA is to fund research and development that produces practical devices, software, or related technologies that make clinical-study data collection more efficient, reliable, and useful, particularly in the kidney and urology research areas overseen by NIDDK. In other words, it is aimed at strengthening the tools and workflows that sit between patients, clinical sites, and researchers so that studies can gather higher-quality information with less burden and fewer errors.
This program uses the SBIR Phase I/Phase II structure reflected in the R41/R42 mechanism, which supports projects that begin with feasibility and early proof-of-concept work (Phase I) and can progress to more advanced development and validation (Phase II). Because it is an SBIR opportunity, the eligible applicants are small businesses, meaning the FOA is designed to help companies translate innovative technical ideas into products that can be deployed in real clinical study settings. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes it more accessible for small companies that may not have the resources to contribute required matching funds.
The activity category is listed under health, and the related CFDA number is 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), indicating it is part of NIH extramural support tied to NIDDK mission areas. While the title highlights kidney and urology clinical studies, the underlying theme is broader: developing technologies that optimize data collection, which can include reducing manual data entry, improving the accuracy and completeness of source data, enabling more standardized capture across multiple clinical sites, and supporting the secure handling of clinical research information. Typical solution areas under a goal like this often involve electronic data capture improvements, interfaces that integrate with clinical workflows, better patient-reported outcome collection tools, mobile or remote monitoring approaches, sensor-based or device-based measurements, and systems that reduce errors and missing data while maintaining regulatory and privacy expectations.
Key administrative details in the record show it was posted on December 18, 2012, created on February 21, 2013, and had an original and current closing date of January 7, 2016, with an archive date of February 7, 2016, meaning the announcement is no longer open for new applications under that posting. The sponsoring agency is the NIH. For additional official details, the FOA pointed applicants to the NIH grants guide page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-053.html. For technical difficulties accessing the announcement or linking to it, the contact provided was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
