I had the opportunity to pitch my project to senior biomedical engineering students at the University of Michigan. The students and I are working together, with M-PED support, to develop product specifications and create a functional prototype.

· Preparation of documents for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submission

· Development of an intellectual property strategy

· Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies

· Clinical studies

· Manufacturing costs

· Regulatory assistance

· Subcontracted work to other institutions, including contract research organizations (CRO)

· A combination of services.

You can find the newly released Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CRP) solicitations on our HHS SBIR/STTR Funding page: https://sbir.nih.gov/funding#crp. There are two solicitations: SBIR/STTR Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program: Technical Assistance (SB1), PAR-16-026 (http://1.usa.gov/1QgpEft) and SBIR/STTR Commercialization Readiness Pilot (CRP) Program: Technical Assistance and Late Stage Development (SB1), PAR-16-027 (http://1.usa.gov/1RLHTqI).

The CRP follows the Standard Due Dates (http://1.usa.gov/1MoGW3X), and the next deadline is on Tuesday, January 5, 2015. The webinar will discuss the differences between the two solicitations, and give you a chance to ask questions.
