Opportunity Summary:
Tools for Assessment and Improvement of Neurologic Outcomes in Perinatal Medicine (R43) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding opportunity focused on creating practical tools and technologies that can improve how clinicians and researchers detect, manage, and ultimately reduce neurologic harm around the time of pregnancy, birth, and early infancy. The central purpose is to support early-stage, high-impact product development aimed at better diagnosis, better intervention, and better outcomes for pregnancies and infants already known to have neurologic disease, as well as for infants considered high risk for neurologic complications. In plain terms, this opportunity is about moving beyond basic research and toward technology that can be used in real perinatal settings to identify neurologic problems earlier, guide clinical decisions, or improve short- and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-15-006 and uses the R43 mechanism, which corresponds to SBIR Phase I. Phase I awards are generally meant to establish feasibility, prove a concept, and set the foundation for later-stage development. The total estimated funding available for this announcement is about $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. It is a discretionary grant program within the broad federal activity area of Health (and related Income Security and Social Services categorization), and it is associated with CFDA 93.865, which is tied to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) extramural research portfolio.
Eligibility is restricted to small businesses, consistent with SBIR requirements. To qualify, an applicant must be a for-profit organization with a place of business in the United States and must primarily operate in the United States (or make a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through taxes or use of American products, materials, or labor). The business can be structured as a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, corporation, joint venture, association, trust, or cooperative, with additional limits for joint ventures, including limits on foreign participation. Ownership and control requirements follow standard SBIR rules and include pathways for firms that are majority-owned and controlled by U.S. citizens or permanent residents, as well as an SBIR-only pathway allowing majority ownership by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, or private equity firms as long as no single such entity owns more than 50%. The company, including affiliates, must have no more than 500 employees. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
The timeline in the source data reflects that this was a dated solicitation: it was posted on August 22, 2014, created on September 9, 2014, and had an application closing date of December 17, 2014, with an archive date of January 17, 2015. While those dates indicate the announcement is no longer open, the content still illustrates the kind of perinatal neurotechnology priorities NIH has supported through SBIR, and it can be useful as a model for how to frame future applications to similar solicitations.
