I'm a small business looking for NCI SBIR funding. What are the main differences between Omnibus Grant Solicitations and Targeted Solicitations? Also, what is the name of the NCI grant program specifically for transitioning projects from Phase II research to commercialization?
Navigate to sbir.cancer.gov. Click on 'Small Business Funding'. Click on 'Grant Opportunities'. Identify the description for 'NCI SBIR/STTR Omnibus Grant Solicitations' on the 'Small Business Grant Opportunities' page. Identify the description for 'Targeted Solicitations' on the 'Small Business Grant Opportunities' page. Locate the name of the grant program for Phase II to commercialization transition from the navigation menu or page content. State the characteristics of both solicitation types and the name of the transition grant program.
Successfully navigate to the 'Small Business Grant Opportunities' page. State that Omnibus Grant Solicitations allow applications with an 'investigator-defined scope' within the NIH mission. State that Targeted Solicitations are for 'specific focus areas'. Identify and state the name of the grant program for Phase II to commercialization transition as 'Bridge Award'.
