Within the non-dilutive funding space one can find pockets of money in the billions of dollars directed at unmet medical needs related to CNS/PNS ailments. The scope of funding support covers much of the R&D cycle from proof of concept to late stage clinical.

In the webinar in the series of summer educational webinars FreeMind experts will discuss key CNS/PNS related funding opportunities, with an emphasis on NINDS, NIA, and NIMH.

In a world in which both medical diagnostics and therapies are shifting towards minimally invasive technologies, it is not surprising that steadily increasing non-dilutive funding is available for innovative medical device companies.

The scope of funding support covers the entire R&D cycle, from early stage exploratory and discovery work all the way to late stage clinical research and validation.

In the webinar in the series of summer educational webinars FreeMind experts will discuss the latest trends at the NIH and the new available funding opportunities with respect to medical devices.

The U-Mechanism is a support mechanism used when there will be substantial Federal scientific or programmatic involvement by granting agency. Substantial involvement means that, after award, scientific or program staff will assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities.

We are seeing many programs utilizing this type of mechanism, with substantial awards being made to industry as well.

In this webinar we will discuss process for applying, guidelines, key success components, and insight into increasing chances for award when pursuing U-based opportunities

Non-US applicants are eligible for the majority of the non-dilutive pockets of money including NIH, Department of Defense, BARDA etc. Currently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are actively funding over 1000 projects in the excess of $1.3B, taking place outside the US and awarded to non-US applicant organizations. And, when taking into account collaborations and partnerships between domestic and foreign entities, the funded R&D dollars outside the US even exceed the above.

In this presentation we will provide insight into the non-dilutive funding landscape with an emphasis on the NIH, Department of Defense and other government agencies. FreeMind experts will describe the various pockets of money available for non-US applicants, potential for funding, and means to maximize chances for award.

The National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awards close to $6,000,000,000 annually. Taking into account activities by DTRA, DARPA, US Army, BARDA etc. this is a funding force no one in the field can afford to ignore.

Listen to FreeMind experts share insights into these tremendous sources of funding and get tips on how to maximize potential to receive an award.

Every year NIH alone awards over $120,000,000 via R’-Mechanisms, among them the RO1 or R21. In order to maximize your funding potential all sources of funding must be considered including the less traditional sources.

R21s aim to fund very early stage proof of concept type programs of up to 2 years at about $300,000, whereas RO1s are more suitable for longer programs of up to 5 years, totaling some $3,000,000.

In this webinar FreeMind experts will share insight into alternatives to the classic SBIR/STTR mechanisms. We will discuss methodology for establishing both responsiveness as well as competitiveness and how to increase chances for award.

SBIR/STTR awards account for over $780,000,000 awarded per year by NIH alone to industry. These are excellent sources of funding aimed at promoting R&D activities of small businesses as well as collaborations with Academics.

SBIR/STTRs differ from traditional NIH mechanisms in that they are highly product driven and ultimately are seeking commercialization of novel therapies, diagnostics, devices, etc.

With the recent Ebola outbreak in Western Africa and subsequent extensive media coverage and public concern, Federal Agencies are teaming together to support novel research in the fight to eradicate this deadly disease.

In this webinar FreeMind experts will share insight into the Ebola funding space as well as describe in detail current funding opportunities and trends.

In this Webinar FreeMind Experts will discuss:
How to choose the right mechanism of support
Funding opportunities from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority (BARDA), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Crafting your pre-application

How to maximize chances for award

Registration is a multi-step process that can take 8 weeks or more and MUST be completed before the submission deadline. Organizations must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM), Grants.gov and eRA Commons.

The registration process is not sequential. As soon as an organization has obtained its DUNS number, it can begin registering with SAM and then Grants.gov and eRA Commons.

All too often organizations struggle with the registration process. This leads to rejected applications and frustration.

In this webinar FreeMind experts provided a step by step guide to the registration process.
