Be Part of the Next Generation of Medical Technology
The NIH funds projects that are set to change the world as we know it, providing solutions to America’s most pressing medical challenges and revolutionizing public health.
But too often, we see brilliant small businesses struggle to secure funding. They submit application after application, only to be rejected — not because their work lacks potential, but because they haven’t cracked the complex, technical language or the ‘textbook’ answers the NIH expects.
Don’t let this get in your way. You work on changing the world while we handle your application.
What Can I Use the NIH Grant For?
Your project must be:
- Health-related or biomedical
- Focused on technological innovation
- Aimed at eventual commercialization
- Able to meet NIH’s mission to improve human health
