How to Access Small Business Grants & Commercialization Resources at the NIH & National Cancer Institute - SBIR/STTR Workshop

Are you developing a promising cancer-focused or biomedical technology and seeking funding to advance it toward commercialization? Join the National Cancer Institute’s Small Business Innovation Research Development Center for an informational workshop on how early-stage companies, academic spinouts, and entrepreneurial researchers can access funding and commercialization support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are a critical source of non-dilutive federal funding for early-stage companies. NCI SBIR/STTR programs provide approximately $200 million annually to US small businesses advancing innovative cancer technologies, including therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, digital health tools, and research technologies. In addition to funding, the NCI SBIR Development Center offers a range of commercialization resources to help small businesses bring their products to market.

Join to learn about:

  • SBIR/STTR grant programs at the National Cancer Institute
  • Funding opportunities for cancer-focused start-ups and academic spinouts
  • Tips for writing competitive SBIR/STTR grant proposals.
  • Commercialization resources for applicants and awardees

 

Teams can request a one-on-one meeting with NCI Program Directors to discuss their technologies and obtain project-specific guidance. Meetings will be held after the workshop from 2:45pm – 4:30pm. Teams will be pre-selected. Register using the link below to submit your project for consideration by September 4, 2026.
