Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 18 574
PHS 2018-02 is an omnibus (multi-agency) SBIR grant solicitation issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is set up as a Parent SBIR Funding Opportunity Announcement that uses the SBIR grant mechanisms R43 and R44, meaning it is meant to support early-stage research and development by U.S. small businesses and, when appropriate, follow-on development work that moves an innovation closer to commercialization or broader public health use. The central purpose is to bring small business research capabilities and technical expertise to priority research and development needs across NIH, CDC, and FDA program areas, using the topic areas laid out in the companion PHS 2018-2 SBIR/STTR Program Descriptions and Research Topics document.
A key limitation of this specific FOA is that it is "Clinical Trial Not Allowed." In practical terms, applicants must propose projects that do not involve conducting clinical trials. The FOA is therefore geared toward non-clinical R and D such as discovery, preclinical development, prototype development, software/tool development, validation studies that do not meet the definition of a clinical trial, and other forms of technology innovation that support the health-related missions of NIH, CDC, and FDA without enrolling human subjects in a clinical trial framework. Applicants need to be careful in how they frame human-subjects-related work, if any, to ensure it does not cross into clinical trial territory as defined by NIH policy.
Eligibility is focused on U.S. small business concerns (SBCs). Foreign entities (non-U.S. institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply. At the same time, the FOA notes that "foreign components," as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, may be allowed in some circumstances, which typically means that limited parts of the work can be performed outside the U.S. when there is a strong justification (for example, unique expertise, resources, or populations) and when the arrangement complies with NIH policy and the specific requirements of the awarding component. The bottom line is that the applicant organization must qualify as a U.S. small business, and any international involvement must fit within the rules for allowable foreign components rather than representing a non-U.S. applicant or a non-U.S. organizational component.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument. The activity areas span a wide range of public mission categories, including health, education, environment, food and nutrition, and related social service and income security areas, reflecting the breadth of NIH, CDC, and FDA missions. The solicitation is associated with many CFDA program numbers (for example, 93.061, 93.068, 93.073, and numerous others), which signals that multiple institutes, centers, and program components across NIH and partner agencies can use this parent announcement to support SBIR projects aligned with their specific portfolios.
The opportunity number is PA 18 574, created on January 16, 2018, with an original closing date listed as April 5, 2019. An award ceiling is not specified in the provided source details, and the expected number of awards is not listed there either, which is common for parent omnibus announcements that can support many different topic areas and receiving components over time. Overall, the program is best understood as a broad entry point for U.S. small businesses to propose mission-relevant, non-clinical-trial R and D projects to NIH, CDC, and FDA, with the exact fit depending on the selected topic area and the priorities of the participating awarding component.Apply for PA 18 574
