- SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)
- Description
- The National Cancer Institute is soliciting proposals from small business concerns to perform key activities to demonstrate technical feasibility and proof-of-concept for the development of highly innovative and potentially transformative therapies, diagnostic tools, or preventive strategies focused on pediatric and/or rare cancers. This new high-risk, high-reward Innovative Concept Award solicitation is intended to encourage small businesses to work on bold and �out of the box� ideas rather than just the tried and tested approaches to make a significant impact in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of these cancers. For the purpose of this solicitation, rare cancers include all the cancers listed by the NIH Genetics and Rare Diseases Information Center. The list can be found here: https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/diseases-by-category/1/rare-cancers Preliminary data is not required; however, the idea�should have a sound scientific premise either based on the offeror�s own research or literature evidence. Proposals will need to identify an anticipated product that will be developed and clearly lay out the anticipated development path.� Proposals will need to clearly identify the clinical problem and cancer type(s) that the proposal will focus on with adequate justification.� In addition, the offerors should propose experiments to obtain initial de-risking and proof-of-concept data. Awards will also include requirements to enhance entrepreneurship skills and to develop or refine a business model and commercialization plan. This solicitation is a pilot Concept Award program that could serve as a pipeline for the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.� Background for the SBIR program can be found in the Small Business Administration�s policy directive found here: https://www.sbir.gov/sites/default/files/SBIR-STTR_Policy_Directive_2019.pdf . This is a total small business set-aside solicitation.� Only proposals from eligible small businesses will be considered for award. This size standard is established by law for the SBIR program, regardless of the NAICS Code assigned. To be eligible as a small business, the business concern may have no more than 500 employees, including the employees of its Affiliates. See 13 C.F.R. � 121.702.� Other requirements apply, as well � see the SBA�s SBIR Policy Directive for further eligibility requirements - https://www.sbir.gov/sites/default/files/SBIR-STTR_Policy_Directive_2019.pdf. This solicitation includes an interim date for submission and consideration of white papers which will allow the NCI to provide feedback on whether or not the proposed idea falls within the scope of what this solicitation is seeking. NOTE � SBIR / STTR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES Other SBIR and STTR�contract and grant�opportunities are also available.� Companies are encouraged to review https://sbir.nih.gov/funding.� For general information regarding the NCI SBIR Program, please refer to�https://sbir.cancer.gov/ .
