OVERVIEW
Maximizing Your Non-Dilutive Funding Potential
We are witnessing a continuous movement by the NIH and DOD towards the life science industry, with a greater understanding as to the industry's needs, focus, and difficulties. The scope of funding support given to industry R&D efforts from non-dilutive sources such as NIH and DOD covers the entire R&D cycle from early stage exploratory activities and all the way to late stage clinical research activities (Phase I, II and II). All non-dilutive sources are now expressing greater than ever interest in the R&D efforts of the industry, and more so in the unique set of skills and assets presented by collaborative academia-industry alliances.
This presentation will discuss the latest trends at the NIH and DOD and the new available funding opportunities, in particular:
- The challenges in putting together a complex and large scale application
- Short term/large scale funding opportunities
- Process for applying, requirements and limitations
- How to maximize chances for success
- Industry & academia collaboration
- Government funding as a strategic source of funding
