Webinar: Technical and Business Assistance Program (TABA) Needs Assessment Report

Description

NIH is excited to announce the Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) Program to help small businesses identify and address their most pressing product development needs. The TABA Program supports companies developing all types of technologies, e.g., clinical products such as devices, drugs, biologics, and therapeutics, as well as software, educational, and multi-media behavioral science products.

A key component of the TABA Program is the TABA Needs Assessment Report. The report provides a third-party, unbiased assessment of your progress in 10 technical and business areas that are critical to success in the competitive healthcare marketplace. The report will also suggest the highest priority steps you can take to improve the commercial potential of your product or service.

Companies that have held an active Phase I SBIR/STTR grant or contract within the past two years are eligible to receive a report. NIH is offering TABA Needs Assessment Reports on a rolling basis to ensure that companies receive timely guidance. Companies should submit an online request form if interested in receiving a report and will receive a status update on the request within 60 days. There is no cost for this report and the time commitment for participation is minimal. Needs Assessment Reports will be completed in 2-3 months.
