Increasing Diversity in NIH Small Business Programs

In this next installment of the “All About Grants” podcast series, small business innovators can learn more about programs geared towards women-owned companies or those led by socially or economically disadvantaged groups. Dr. Kory Hallett, a Program Director with the National Cancer Institute, and Ms. Stephanie Fertig, a Director of Small Business Programs with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, will highlight how NIH is taking steps towards diversifying the NIH small business programs. You will hear about who qualifies, tips for strengthening your application, and what goes on behind-the-scenes in a study section reviewing the merit of your application. They also share some good general food-for-thought that many other applicants may find helpful when trying to turn research ideas into words.
