This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) aims to re-implement the CRP Program at NIH and CDC. The goal of this FOA is to facilitate the transition of previously funded SBIR/STTR Phase II projects to the commercialization stage by providing additional support for later stage technical assistance activities not typically supported through Phase II or Phase IIB grants or contracts. Only those applicants who have recently received Phase II or Phase IIB funding from one of the participating NIH Institutes/Centers or CDC are eligible for this program, as described in Section III.1.
