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.

NINDS has just issued a number of funding opportunities covering separately the development of biologics, small molecules and devices in a cooperative manner with the issuing institute (U-Mechanism). This serves a major paradigm shift in NINDS funding.

Further, 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.

Non-US applicants are eligible for the majority of the non-dilutive pockets of money including NIH, Department of Defense, BARDA etc.
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 Allergy 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.

In this first webinar in the series of summer educational webinars we will discuss:

• Sources of Biodefense and Infectious Diseases funding – DOD (USAMRMC, DTRA, DARPA), NIH, BARDA etc.
• Specific funding opportunities
• Rapidly approaching deadlines
• Major challenges
• Keys to maximizing 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, Ms. Noa Larroche provided a step by step guide to the registration process.

Specifically Ms. Larroche cover:
-How to obtain a DUNS number
-Registering with grants.gov, SAM, eRA Commons
-Generating other acronyms such as: AOR, eBiz POC, TIN, EIN
-Important Tips
-Trouble Shooting
-Successful submission!
