The National Institutes of Health Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs provide over $1.2B in early-stage funding for translating innovative products from the bench to the bedside. Two NIH small business program directors, Dr. Stephanie Davis (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute) and Dr. Sarra Djemil (National Cancer Institute), will discuss funding opportunities for biomedical innovators in Arkansas, as well as entrepreneurial resources available to small business grantees.
You may book one-on-one meetings with Dr. Davis, Dr. Djemil, and/or Dr. Ming Zhao (program director, National Cancer Institute) to discuss your ideas.
Additionally, attendees will have the chance to ask two local cofounders of the Arkansas startup NuShores Biosciences (Dr. Alex Biris, CTO, and Ms. Sharon Ballard, CEO) about their experiences with the NIH SBIR program.
Lunch will be provided.
