What do you need to do before you submit a proposal to NIH for the January 5, 2021 deadline.
1.Complete six registrations before submitting your application
There is more to a NIH SBIR/STTR than the research. The registration process alone may take six to eight weeks, so it’s important to start as early as possible. All of these registrations must be completed prior to the application being submitted.
- Dun and Bradstreet Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
- Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- System for Award Management (SAM)
- Grants.gov (Register with Grants.gov)
- NIH’s Electronic Research Administration System (eRA)
- Small Business Administration Company Registry (SBA)
2.Make sure you complete all of the following.
Leaving anything out will cause your submission to be rejected, no matter how great it is. So, make sure you have checked every box before sending in your proposal.
