NINR Small Business Program

Funds small businesses bringing nursing-science research toward market through NINR SBIR and STTR pathways.

The National Institute of Nursing Research describes its small-business funding route as a way for SBIR and STTR funding to help companies bring research to market. The captured source facts point applicants to general Omnibus opportunities and targeted SBIR/STTR funding opportunity announcements.

The S5 fact context does not provide a specific current NOFO number, due date, award cap, scoring rubric, or complete eligibility rule set. This row should therefore remain a conservative discovery record for NINR small-business funding, with round-specific facts added from NIH SEED, Grants.gov, or the relevant NIH Guide NOFO before any deadline-sensitive advice is shown.

NINR small-business funding for SBIR/STTR and related nursing-research commercialization opportunities.
