The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Small Business Program awards Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants for projects that fit our mission and vision.
NHGRI strives to improve the health of all humans through advances in genomics research.
As a leading authority in the field of genomics, our mission is to accelerate scientific and medical breakthroughs that improve human health. We do this by driving cutting-edge research, developing new technologies, and studying the impact of genomics on society.
For applications that align with a range of specific topics in genomics (see page 26), NHGRI application caps (total costs not including technical and business assistance) allow requests of up to $400,000 for Phase I and up to $2,000,000 for Phase II.
The NHGRI Small Business Program is interested in a wide breadth of work in genomics, including:
- Genomic Technology Development
- Computational Genomics and Data Science
- Genomic Medicine
If you think your research aligns with our institute, you are strongly recommended to contact program staff in the developmental stages of your application to ensure your proposed research aligns with NHGRI’s mission, vision, and interests.
