· 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)

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.
