Following reauthorization by Congress of the SBIR/STTR Programs in 2022, there are new rules companies should familiarize themselves with concerning required disclosures of foreign affiliations or relationships with foreign countries. In addition to mandating disclosures prior to receiving SBIR awards, companies must also regularly update NIH following any changes to a disclosure. View this webinar organized by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) for a comprehensive discussion on how to effectively navigate these new rules as you apply for SBIR awards.

This webinar is co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Seed Office.

With the majority of biological studies conducted in academic settings but nearly all innovative new drug clinical trials sponsored by industry, improving translational research success rates for commercialization is critical to bringing new treatments to patients. Surveys of academic tech transfer offices and the biopharma industry executives working on such alliances cite as obstacles two highly controllable factors: disagreement about alliance performance metrics and misalignment of deal terms priorities. This panel discusses best practices for removing such obstacles to accelerate more promising ideas into clinical development for patients.

BIO's updated 2023 report, "U.S. Biotechnology Translational Research: Partnership Models, Management Principles, and Best Practices," is available for download at the link below.  The webinar also summarizes major findings from that BIO report as context for the panel discussion and audience Q&A.

The US Government invests in biomedical research in many ways, including direct funding of some critical R&D areas for diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics that could strengthen biodefense preparedness. This BIO-hosted webinar details for the biotechnology corporate and academic community the many new and previously available sources of capital, as well as the processes for applying for funding, from the US Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is continuously engaging in efforts to protect the warfighter from a broad array of threats. Preparing for and responding to these threats requires key partnerships with the industry to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics that are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the warfighter in various situations. Many of the investments made through these partnerships also support broader applications of key biotechnologies for other unmet healthcare needs. This important webinar represents an opportunity for BIO members and the whole biotechnology community to get an update about the priorities and programs within the DoD and the ways companies can work with the Agency on their priorities.
