Funding Biomedical Innovations for Non-Academic Innovators

XLerateHealth partnered with the National Institutes of Health and hosted a 2-hour webinar regarding how non-academic biomedical entrepreneurs can jump-start their business and develop their technology through NIH SBIR/STTR grant funding.

The NIH shared how they support Biomedical Innovators through their entrepreneurial-focused programs and resources.  Program officers from 13 NIH Institutes discussed the funding opportunities (and nuances) relative to their particular institution. Additionally, attendees learned about other non-dilutive funding opportunities and commercialization resources for NIH applicants and awardees.

Both academic and non-academic innovators joined the session, which was followed by a productive Q&A between the presenters and participants.
