Nexa Bio Partners · SBIR Topic Area Fit

Which federal funder is the right home for your science?

Now that SBIR is back, the hard part is picking the right door. Describe what you're working on and see which NIH institute or other agency fits best. Free, about a minute.

Most NIH institutes take investigator-initiated SBIR/STTR in their mission area through the omnibus announcement, so you often don't have to pick perfectly up front. This points you at the strongest fit and the parallel options worth knowing. Programs are funded through FY2031 (September 30, 2031).

Describe your science, disease area, and modality

A sentence or two is plenty. Example: "Preclinical mRNA therapy expressing IL-12 for advanced solid tumors, IND-enabling work in 2026."
