NextTech: Translational Development of Next-Generation Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices
Funds translating a diagnostic or therapeutic device to the point it is ready for its first human trial, under NIH's BRAIN and HEAL initiatives.
A device that works on the bench often stalls before it ever reaches a person, not because the science is wrong but because nobody has cleared the practical hurdles — manufacturing, safety data, regulatory groundwork — that stand between a prototype and a first human trial. This notice funds clearing exactly those hurdles.
It sits under two NIH initiatives at once: BRAIN, for neurotechnology, and…
Translational development of next-generation diagnostic or therapeutic devices under NIH's BRAIN (neurotechnology) and HEAL (pain and addiction) initiatives, covering technology development, optimisation and preparation for human-use approval, aimed at readiness for a first-in-human clinical trial. Early-stage proof-of-concept work is not the target; devices already past that stage are.
