Reaching out to NIH Program Officers

Did you receive an NIH SBIR Grant award? Congratulations! Now what? Here are three secrets to maximizing your NIH SBIR Grant award so you can make the most of this opportunity. Join me, Stacy Chin, Ph.D., as we go over three things you should keep in mind after you receive an NIH SBIR grant award to optimize your free grant funding! The Program Officer is an NIH staff member who is responsible for overseeing your grant and providing guidance and assistance throughout the project period. The Program Officer will also serve as your primary point of contact at the NIH and you should be communicating with them regularly to keep them updated on the progress of your project. They will also be responsible for reviewing your progress reports, providing feedback on your research, and helping you navigate the NIH system. The Program Officers bring a wealth of knowledge and they want to make sure you succeed in your proposed efforts. They are also aware of other things going on behind the scenes at the NIH agency and may even bring upcoming opportunities to your attention if they think they are a good fit. For example, some of my awarded clients have informed me that the Program Officer may inform them of upcoming funding opportunities that they encouraged them to apply for. These are just some examples of how Program Officers can play a big role in your SBIR project. Take the time to engage with your Program officer right off the bat and continue to establish a positive and productive relationship with them so that you can make maximize the value of your SBIR grant award!
