NIH Blueprint MedTech Translator
Funds translational neurotechnology device development through structured milestones and multi-year collaboration.
The NIH Blueprint MedTech Translator, issued under NOFO PAR-25-383, funds translational development of therapeutic and diagnostic devices targeting nervous system and neuromuscular disorders. The program uses the UG3/UH3 cooperative agreement mechanism, which is a milestone-driven two-phase structure: the UG3 planning phase must achieve pre-specified milestones before NIH releases UH3 implementati…
