NIH to move to electronic submission
NIH SBIR/STTR grant applicants soon will be expected to submit applications online through the government-wide Grants.gov portal. Grant applicants must first complete a registration process. Organizations are strongly encouraged to register with Grants.gov now to ensure that they are ready to take advantage of the electronic submission process, which is expected to take effect for the Dec. 1, 2005, submission date.

NIH SBIR/STTR contract opportunities
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be soliciting proposals from small business concerns for contract awards under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. The SBIR program, in part, emphasizes increased private-sector commercialization of technology developed through federal R&D and seeks to increase small business participation in federal R&D. Proposals will be due Nov. 4, 2005. More information, including a full list of research topics, is available at http://www2.eps.gov/spg/HHS/NIH/NHLBI/PHS%2D2006%2D1/listing.html
