New NIH SBIR/STTR Phase II Follow-on Funding Mechanism

Receiving the M-PED Commercialization Gap Funding award has allowed me to create molds and fabricate prototypes of the DentalFoos Disposable Isolators for product testing. This is a crucial step for DentalFoos on the road to small-scale manufacturing and production.

· Manufacturing costs

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.
