As a small business, I'm exploring NCI SBIR funding. Can you explain the purpose of Omnibus Grant Solicitations and Targeted Solicitations? Also, I'm looking for a grant to transition my Phase II research to commercialization; what is that program called?
Navigate to sbir.cancer.gov. Click on 'Small Business Funding'. Click on 'Grant Opportunities'. Identify the purpose of 'NCI SBIR/STTR Omnibus Grant Solicitations' on the 'Small Business Grant Opportunities' page. Identify the purpose of '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 purpose 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 'finding targeted solicitation opportunities for small business innovation research'. Identify and state the name of the grant program for Phase II to commercialization transition as 'Bridge Award'.
