By Candice He, Vice President of Business Development, Global Investment Strategist, LSN

We are excited to announce an exclusive workshop that will be a pivotal highlight of the RESI Boston Conference, happening from September 18-20. Join us and unlock the door to non-dilutive grant funding for your early-stage health innovations

Workshop Topic: Leveraging NIH’s Non-Dilutive Grant Funding

Date: September 18th Time: 11:00 AM ET Location: Boston Park Plaza

Workshop Description

The NIH helps US-based small businesses in their early stages by offering over $1.3 billion in R&D funding through various programs. Small businesses can use NIH funding to generate proof-of-concept data, de-risk their innovation, and attract partners and investors to commercialize their innovation. We support a range of high-impact technologies, such as research tools, diagnostics, digital health, drugs, medical devices, and more. The NIH’s grants do not require equity and can provide the initial funding you need to translate your scientific innovations from an idea to a product. On this panel, representatives of the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will discuss how to apply for NIH funding, NIH-funded programs and entrepreneurial hubs which support founders across the nation, and unique priority areas in disease areas like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Meet the Panelists

We are happy to introduce the speakers from the NIH who will provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant programs and their requirements:

Eddie Billingslea Small Business Strategy Coordinator National Institute on Aging	Joshua HOOKS Program Officer National Institute on Aging	Rajesh Kumar Program Officer National Institute on Aging
