National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The purpose of this Notice is to inform potential applicants of changes in the participation of NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) in PA-11-335 “Lab to Marketplace: Tools for Biomedical and Behavioral Research (SBIR [R43/R44])”.

Background

On December 23, 2011, the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) was dissolved and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) were established. As indicated in NOT-OD-12-026, all NCRR programs were transferred to other NIH ICOs. Additionally, the responsibility for all Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) in which NCRR participated is being transferred to other ICOs. Please visit the NCRR website for more information regarding the transfer of NCRR programs to other NIH ICOs. 

Implementation

The following sections of PA-11-335 have been revised to reflect the changes that resulted from this reorganization of NIH ICOs.

The “Components of Participating Organizations” section has been revised to remove NCRR and include NIBIB and NCATS:

National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
National Institute on Aging (NIA)
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)

National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)
National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)
National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM)

The “Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number” section has been revised to reflect the updated list of participating ICOs.

The NCRR CFDA number has been removed: 93.389
