Webinar: NIA Small Business Funding: Accelerating Alzheimer’s and Aging Research

Join the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute on Aging (NIA) Office of Small Business Research (OSBR) for a webinar on small business funding opportunities to advance your research to commercialization.

Through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, NIA’s OSBR provides more than $100 million annually in set-aside, non-dilutive funding, and resources to support small businesses looking to commercialize. The small business programs support eligible companies and entrepreneurs creating innovative therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics that address aging, aging-related diseases, and the special needs of older Americans.

Learn how to tap into NIA’s SBIR/STTR programs that can help accelerate research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), AD-related dementias, and other diseases of aging.

The webinar will feature:

• An overview of the SBIR and STTR programs and benefits of funding
