NIH Seeks IT Solution for Biomedical Data Sources
by Mildred Holley, Technology Programs Manager

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) invites small businesses to develop innovative software that addresses components needed to integrate knowledge across data sources at multiple laboratories and institutions and that include disparate data types from multiple subdisciplines. NIH will also support development of tools for visualization and summarization of the results from such systems, as well as tools for managing data security, data integrity, query efficiency and data ownership.

NIH released Program Announcement PA-05-003 on October 19. NIH will use the SBIR/STTR guidelines to fund research and development under this announcement, so only small businesses are eligible. Because the time and cost to develop software-based knowledge integration tools will likely exceed the typical SBIR/STTR parameters, NIH will consider well-justified proposals that call for higher budgets and longer time periods.

This NIH Program Announcement, as well as others of possible interest to small businesses, is available at http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/funding/sbir_announcements.htm.
