The Challenge goal is to support research ideas that would further an understanding of neurobiology as it relates to Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and that are intended to be the basis for the development of a new and potentially successful start-up. NIDA hopes that participation in the contest will enable scientists to test the hypothesis that their research idea can be fostered into a biotech startup, and that eventually any newly created startups will contribute to the pool of innovative small business companies that can successfully compete for NIDA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) funding. Each Challenge winner will receive $10,000. The Challenge total purse is up to $100,000.</p><p> <strong>CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION</strong> NIDA is excited to announce the first competition for biomedical scientists with the goal to support research ideas that can be fostered into a biotech startup. NIDA envisions that eventually any newly created startups will contribute to the pool of innovative small business companies that can successfully compete for NIDA’s Small Business funding (SBIR/STTR Programs). We welcome all ideas related to substance use disorders (SUD).</p><p> In 2016, NIDA will award up to <strong>$100,000 in prizes to up to 10 winners of the contest, $10,000 each.</strong> Are you a biomedical scientist who believes that he/she has an idea for a biotech start-up? This Challenge is unique because NIDA intends to fund the “would be” startup Founders much earlier than most investors, incubators, or traditional modes of research funding (e.g. small business grants). </p><p> What does it take to participate in the Challenge? The team or an individual must have a research idea. The research “idea” is the product that your future startup will offer. Here, the term startup “product” is used in its broadest definition. Product is any source of value for the people who become customers. Services, subscriptions, software as a service (SaaS), physical/tangible products, aggregations, etc. could all provide value and thus be considered startup products. The startup product could be the result of novel scientific discoveries, repurposing an existing technology for a new use, extending a research observation into a different area, devising a new business model or distribution/delivery channel that unlocks value currently concealed, or simply bringing a product or service to previously underserved set of customers. The Founder (the teams or an individual) must demonstrate through the Submission the passion, drive, discipline, ability to work collaboratively and willingness to push forward under conditions of extreme business uncertainty. </p><p> The winners of this Challenge are encouraged to use the prize funds to develop a minimum viable proof (MVP) as quickly as possible and to obtain customer feedback to discover if MVP meets the customer needs. If the product prototype is successfully validated, winners are encouraged to create or further advance their biotech startup no later than 6 months after the prize is awarded. Post Challenge, as with all other NIH grant applicants, NIDA staff will provide dedicated assistance and guidance about the NIH grant submission process, including submissions for the SBIR/STTR grants. </p><p> The research idea must be broad enough to address multiple conditions, diseases, or indications consistent with SUD or be specific for prevention and treatments of SUD. For example, if your idea can only work for cancer or diabetes, entering this Challenge is not appropriate. However, if the plan is to test an idea for a research tool that would further an understanding of neurobiology or epigenetics to progress faster and with greater fidelity, entering this Challenge is appropriate. </p><p> For the Federal Register Notice of the “$100,000 for Start a SUD Startup” Challenge, go to <a href="https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-06-13/pdf/2016-13936.pdf">https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-06-13/pdf/2016-13936.pdf</a> </p> |
